Platfora

Platfora was a big-data analytics company founded in 2011 by Ben Werther that provided in-memory business intelligence and data visualization directly on top of Apache Hadoop, letting analysts run interactive queries, build "lenses," and share dashboards without ETL into a separate warehouse. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Battery Ventures, In-Q-Tel and others, it raised roughly $65M before Workday acquired the company in July 2016 and folded the technology into Workday's analytics stack. The standalone Platfora product and platfora.com developer surface were subsequently discontinued; the domain no longer resolves and no public API or developer program remains.

Platfora is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Analytics, Big Data, Business Intelligence, and Data Visualization.
