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

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.
