What does ILUM do?
ILUM is a free managed data lakehouse platform that lets you deploy Apache Spark on Kubernetes in minutes. It combines the storage flexibility of data lakes with the query speed of warehouses, supporting hybrid, cloud, or on-premises deployment. You can connect to Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, or HDFS, and use table formats like Delta Lake, Iceberg, or Hudi.
The platform automates Spark cluster provisioning and scaling using Kubernetes. Its standout feature is Interactive Sessions—control a Spark session over a REST API and cut job initialization time by up to 99%. Monitoring is made easier with centralized Spark logs and performance metrics. ILUM also handles multi-cluster management, automated data lineage, and integrates with Airflow, Jupyter, PowerBI, and Tableau.
Data engineers, data scientists, and data analysts can use ILUM to migrate from legacy Hadoop, run interactive data exploration, and build scalable data pipelines—all without paying for the platform. Over 200 data teams already use ILUM to unlock insights from their data, whether running ad-hoc Spark jobs, building ML pipelines with Mlflow, or supporting dashboards for business intelligence.
