A managed service for approximate analytics, vector search, and dataset reduction that trades data read for bounded answers.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-22 issue.
For
Data engineers managing analytical workloads and large datasets
Worth noticing
Its ClickBench table contains 99,997,497 rows and 105 columns; six of nine initial queries are reported exact at 0% read.

Field notes

The homepage exposes a read-budget workflow rather than presenting approximation as a single opaque score: users can raise the budget, inspect bounds, and reach an exact result at full read. Its example includes a JSON request for approximate distinct counting and reports when further reading would not improve the answer. The page also records a limitation: one grouped distinct-count ClickBench query is not supported yet.
