Data processing startup Rockset Inc. is making its serverless analytics and search platform generally available just months after emerging from stealth mode.

Serverless computing refers to cloud services that automate the infrastructure management tasks that companies previously had to manage by themselves. In Rockset’s case, it stretches that definition a bit further, automating the logistics involved in prepping data for analysis in addition to provisioning the necessary hardware.

With its serverless analytics and search platform, Rockset is trying to provide a consistent source of “clean data” from a range of fragmented systems that includes the data lakes, data streams and NoSQL databases commonly used by enterprises today. This data is typically generated in a number of formats that makes it difficult to access without time-consuming modeling of schemas and extract-transform-load procedures.

Rockset does away with that complexity thanks to its “smart schema” that automatically organizes information and makes it available for use. The company says that all enterprises need to do is connect a data source and it will do the rest.

Rockset was co-founded by its Chief Executive Officer Venkat Venkataramani (pictured), a former engineering director at Facebook Inc. The other co-founder is Dhruba Borthakur, another former Facebook executive who helped to create the Hadoop File System and who serves as the startup’s chief technology officer.

Venkataramani discussed Rockset’s capabilities in depth during an appearance on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s mobile livestreaming studio, on the same day as the company emerged from stealth last November:
