Synnada is an AI-native data infrastructure company that enables the creation of real-time data applications. Built by leading contributors to Apache DataFusion, Synnada offers a unified data processing solution leveraging Rust and the Apache Arrow in-memory format for rapid query performance. It supports SQL and Dataframe APIs with innate compatibility for CSV, Parquet, JSON, and Avro. The platform facilitates building data-intensive applications by providing composable blocks, enabling real-time processing, online machine learning capabilities (forecasting, detection, generative AI via SQL functions), and collaborative features like versioning and monitoring. Synnada aims to simplify data workflows, addressing the 'data chasm' by transforming how data applications are built.
