Imply Polaris, a cloud-native real-time analytics DBaaS built on Apache Druid, integrates with Microsoft Azure to provide a robust architecture for real-time analytics applications. Polaris offers seamless data ingestion through both streaming and batch methods using Azure services like Azure Event Hub, Blob Storage, and Data Lake Storage, while supporting pre-processing with tools like Apache Flink and Spark. Once ingested, Polaris allows users to query and visualize data using its in-built tools or third-party integrations like Tableau and Azure Managed Grafana. It provides flexibility in deployment with various project shapes and SKUs, ensuring efficient resource utilization with auto-scaling features, and emphasizes security and resiliency with encrypted data, private networking, and high availability through Azure's infrastructure. Users can manage access control, and the platform guarantees performance with dedicated Kubernetes resources, making it a comprehensive solution for extracting insights from diverse data sources.
