Azure Data Explorer is Azure’s Big-Data Analytics service. It enables interactive querying and exploration of huge data sets (Petabytes).

Although fairly young, Azure Data Explorer has already been extensively adopted inside the company for all log-analytics needs, and externally we are growing exponentially. ADX (Azure Data Explorer) is already indexing more than 40 PB (petabytes) of data every day.
