Around 2008, data volumes exploded and the world needed a path to understand and use it all. In response, cloud providers scaled up cheap storage as bait; sky‑high compute bills to query the data turned out to be the hook. As a direct result, today storage and compute is maximally separated and the cloud providers are dependent on driving up compute usage. Every ad‑hoc query, dashboard refresh, or model run sends the meter spinning.
Cloud providers charge per query, so one engineer’s exploratory run can easily create huge bills. At a rough price floor of $10/terabyte/query, that's $10,000 for a single query on one petabyte.
Backend now eats 60‑80 % of operating expense at many software companies, between the costs to manage all this complexity and paying the direct cloud service bills.
Your engineering team spends up to 80% of their time maintaining the infrastructure needed to afford querying their own data - not building features.
This can't be allowed to continue.
We've reimagined data infrastructure from first principles for the opposite optimization - instead of cheap storage, we focus on driving the lowest possible cost-per-query. The result is a platform that moves storage and compute back together, shifts workloads from expensive compute to efficient storage and moves distributed search from a fragile add-on to the foundational core of the data architecture, dramatically changing the economics of software development.
Replace operational databases, data warehouses, ETL pipelines, stream processors, data lakes, analytics engines, datamarts, search indexers and more via a single, elegant system with an internet-ready API that any developer can master in hours.
Deployment, management, reconfiguration and termination of environments and resources are all performed via scriptable services or push-button automation.
