Hydrolix builds a streaming data lake platform that combines stream processing, decoupled storage, high-density compression and indexed search to enable real-time queries on large volumes of log data. The platform targets log-intensive use cases including security, observability, content delivery, adtech, AI/ML and regulatory compliance. Hydrolix has leaned into channel partnerships—notably a white‑label TrafficPeak offering with Akamai—and added AWS as a go-to-market partner while building connectors for ecosystems like Splunk, Databricks and Kibana. The company says it added 400+ customers in the past year, posted an eightfold sales increase year-over-year, and now earns more than 40% of revenue from international customers. Future plans for the funding include extending availability to additional cloud platforms, expanding the types and sources of data ingested, and amplifying sales momentum through regional partners and vertical expertise. Hydrolix builds a streaming data lake platform that provides a repository for log data and delivers that data to applications in real time. Its technology combines real-time stream processing, decoupled storage and low-latency indexed search to enable high-performance, cost-efficient log management. Hydrolix keeps all data “hot,” avoiding multiple storage tiers and claiming real-time query performance at terabyte scale. The platform powers log-intensive use cases across security, observability, AI/ML and sectors such as advertising, travel and retail, and can run on customers’ cloud infrastructure or as a partner data layer. Hydrolix reported annual recurring revenue of roughly $6 million, doubled revenue from Q3 to Q4 2023 and grew another 75% in Q1 2024; it serves about 90 customers and has a Portland, Oregon–based workforce of around 60. The company plans to scale its sales and partner channel operations as well as marketing and customer onboarding following the new funding. Hydrolix provides a real-time data platform designed to store and query logs, traces and metrics at much lower cost. It uses a custom storage layer that delivers SSD-like performance using cloud object storage and diskless spot instances, enabling fully indexed search without caching or bulk column scans. The architecture targets livestream ingest and ad-hoc data exploration workloads that traditional analytics systems struggle with. Hydrolix is currently compatible with AWS and offered through the Amazon Marketplace; versions for Azure and Google Cloud are expected later this year. The company was founded at the end of 2018, is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and has about 20 employees spread across six countries. Investors and the company emphasize that the product eliminates common trade-offs between retention cost and query performance.
