Amiato
Amiato was a Palo Alto, California big-data startup founded in 2011 by Nathan Binkert and Mehul A. Shah, originally incubated at Y Combinator in 2012 under the name Nou Data. Amiato built a real-time analytics pipeline around its Schema-lift technology, which extracted records from NoSQL data stores such as MongoDB and Couchbase, automatically inferred and transformed them into a relational schema, and loaded them continuously into Amazon Redshift so that unstructured operational data could be queried by conventional business-intelligence tools. The company raised roughly $2M from investors including Y Combinator, Andreessen Horowitz, Ignition Partners, Data Collective (DCVC) and angel Bobby Yazdani. Amazon Web Services quietly acquired Amiato in May 2014 (reported publicly in April 2015) in what was widely characterized as a talent acquisition; most of the team joined Amazon's database and Redshift product groups and Amiato ceased independent operations. The company is defunct: the amiato.com domain no longer resolves and there is no surviving public API, developer portal, documentation, or SDK surface to enrich.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Amiato is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Amiato scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Amiato is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
