Varada is a data platform that is deployed in your VPC and on top of your data lake. Queries from any data consumer are routed via Varada, which acts as the query engine. Any SQL app, BI tool or even analysts and data scientists can easily query any data source in your data lake, without the need to move data, prepare or model it in advance. With Varada, you can rapidly add and remove nodes and clusters as workloads scale up and down.
