About ILUM
ILUM is a data platform company, founded in 2019 and based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that offers a data lakehouse built for cloud-native environments.
Its platform runs managed Apache Spark clusters on Kubernetes, supports interactive Spark sessions and works with object storage, positioning Kubernetes as a modern replacement for Hadoop YARN. A free tier lowers the cost of entry for data engineering and data science teams that want lakehouse capabilities without a large commercial platform. ILUM appeals to organisations that already standardise on Kubernetes and want to run Spark workloads across public cloud or on-premises infrastructure with consistent operations. AIM Research places ILUM in the Seasoned category of Data + AI Platform Providers, reflecting a focused platform for Spark-based data processing and analytics.
