Observability and security platforms lock in your data behind closed systems, rigid workflows, and inflexible pricing. We believe in a new architecture.
Observability and security products are verticalized black boxes
Siloed by Design
Observability and security tools don’t interoperate—creating fragmented data, broken workflows, and limited visibility.
Inflated Costs
You pay for capacity you don’t use, drop data you still need, and scale costs faster than value.
Vendor Lock-in
Each tool brings its own storage, UI, and query language—making change slow and painful.
The solution
Decoupled observability enables flexibility
Open by Default
Broad ecosystem interoperability—load and visualize data from Splunk, Grafana, Elastic, and more.
Efficient
Query faster. Store more. Only pay for what you use—no filters, no prepays.
Workflow Compatible
Keep your dashboards, queries, and agents —no rework, no migrations.
We pioneered real-time analytics with Apache Druid.
Now we’re reimagining observability and security from the ground up.
Introducing
Imply Lumi
Imply Lumi is the industry’s first Observability Warehouse—a high-performance data layer for storing and querying observability and security data. It provides an open alternative to closed, black-box systems, giving you full control over your data.
Best-in-Class Efficiency
Imply Lumi offers significant cost savings and performance benefits vs incumbent solutions
Broad Compatibility
Imply Lumi is capable of ingesting data from multiple sources and visualizing data in multiple UIs
Expanded Capabilities
Imply Lumi supports existing workflows and query patterns and unlocks advanced AI and ML use cases
Decoupled observability architecture
Observability warehouses decouple your observability and security stack
Lumi integrates with the most widely used ingestion and visualization tools in observability and security—letting you decouple your stack without replacing what already works. More integrations are coming soon!
Imply Lumi is a drop-in data layer that preserves the dashboards and workflows your teams rely on, while continuing to work with your existing agents and forwarders.
AI and BI Ready
Rethink What Your Data Can Do
Observability and security data isn’t just for dashboards. It can power intelligent decisions, faster triaging, and stronger security—but only if you can access and analyze it freely.
Native AI Compatibility Speak to your log data directly with AI tools such as ChatGPT and other popular chatbots
AI/ML Model Integration Flexibly export large amounts of log data directly to popular AI and ML models
BI Integration Visualize data not only in popular observability UIs, but BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or Looker
Measurable Benefits
70%+
Reduced Costs
Lumi uses “schema-on-persist” instead of “schema-on-read” to greatly improve data compression
5X
Faster Queries
Lumi uses modern database engine architecture to greatly improve query performance
