A real-time database for IoT and Telemetry
Modern IoT environments generate an endless stream of telemetry: device status, sensor readings, network metrics, and more. With Imply, powered by Apache Druid®, you can query that data the moment it arrives—at any scale—and deliver instant insight across fleets, facilities, and systems.
Your Data Won’t Wait. Why Should You?
Every connected device emits multiple events per second. Across fleets, that’s billions of records per hour.
If your database can’t keep up, your insights are gone before they arrive.
Scaling Massive Event Volumes

“Query performance improved significantly… from 15–20 seconds to 500–700 milliseconds… real-time telemetry at IoT scale.”
Pramod Immaneni | Principal Architect, Data & AI Platform | Rivian
“a data system that…offers us enough headroom for the growth we are expecting and that simplifies management and is much more cost effective.”
Robert Sauer | Software Architect | Thing-it
“Ingests real-time location data from 100,000+ vehicles… up to 40% increased on-time performance and 90% faster data analysis.”
Adam Cath | Director of Product Management | Swiftly
“We go off this notion that if the client has it and it’s not fast, then it might as well be broken — because they need to be able to create insights really quickly off of that data.”
Daniel Hernandez | Senior Software Engineer | Innowatts

Better Together: AWS IoT Core + Imply
AWS IoT Core handles the scale and complexity of connected devices. Imply, built on Apache Druid, delivers real-time analytics at IoT scale. Together, they power instant insights from millions of events — seamlessly, securely, and cost-effectively.
- Seamless data flow: Ingest device data via AWS IoT Core, stream it into Imply through Kinesis or Kafka
- Real-time insights: Data becomes queryable on arrival with sub-second latency for informed decisions
- Scalable & cost-aware: Built for IoT-scale ingestion and analytics with optimized resource use
- Extensible ecosystem: Extend analytics with AWS services like Kinesis, Greengrass, or Device Defender
