Illustra
Illustra Information Technologies was an object-relational database company founded in 1992 by Michael Stonebraker, Gary Morgenthaler and several of Stonebraker's students to commercialize the Postgres research project. Its DataBlade extensibility modules let structured and unstructured multimedia data (text, geospatial, web content) be stored and indexed as true objects. NASA selected it in 1995 to store millions of satellite images. Informix Corporation acquired the company in 1996 and folded the object-relational engine and DataBlades into what became Informix Universal Server; that lineage passed to IBM and is now maintained by HCL Technologies. Illustra no longer exists as an independent entity and publishes no standalone website, developer portal, or API. This record was surfaced from a historical Trinity Ventures portfolio list; enrichment found no live API surface.
Illustra 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. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Illustra 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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Illustra, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
