Data platforms & pipelines

Ingestion, warehousing and transformation your analysts can trust at 9am without asking who broke it.

  • dbt
  • Airflow
  • Kafka
  • Spark
  • DuckDB
  • Postgres
  • Snowflake
  • BigQuery

Most model problems are data problems wearing a disguise. We build the ingestion and transformation layer underneath: sources landed reliably, schemas that fail loudly instead of silently, and tests on the tables people actually make decisions from.

A lineage graph that answers "where did this number come from" in seconds rather than an afternoon changes how a company argues about its own metrics. So does a freshness SLA that someone owns. Both are unglamorous and both pay back within a quarter.

We are pragmatic about the stack. A warehouse and dbt covers most companies for a long time; streaming earns its complexity only when a decision genuinely cannot wait for the next batch. We will push back on architecture that is ahead of the problem.

What you get

  • Batch and streaming ingestion with backfill and replay
  • Warehouse or lakehouse modelling, dbt projects, incremental builds
  • Data quality tests, freshness SLAs and lineage
  • Orchestration with real retries, alerting and runbooks

Common questions

Do we need a warehouse, a lakehouse or neither?
Most companies under a few terabytes need a warehouse and good modelling, not an architecture. We will tell you when Postgres is still the right answer, which is more often than the vendor landscape suggests.
Can you fix pipelines that fail silently?
That is a good first piece of work. Failing loudly, being safely re-runnable and having an owner covers most of it; the rest is usually a source system nobody is monitoring.
Do you work with our analytics team or replace them?
Work with them. Analysts know what the numbers mean; we make the layer underneath dependable so they stop spending half their week on forensics.

Next step

Tell us what has to ship, and by when.

One call, no deck. If we are not the right team for it we will say so, and usually point you at who is.
