Ascend Unified Data Engineering Platform

Built for data data engineers by data engineers, Ascend provides the only unified platform for data pipelines with 10x faster build velocity and automated maintenance. Today, data pipelines are the backbone of modern data systems, yet are also the bottleneck to fulfilling the exploding demand for analytics and insights. As demand for data pipelines skyrockets, so does the complexity and brittleness of existing solutions, further delaying the realization of the promised value.

Evolving beyond traditional ETL, the Ascend Unified Data Engineering Platform revolutionizes how data teams build by introducing autonomous data pipelines that dynamically adapt to changes in data, code, and environment. At the platform’s core is Ascend’s DataAware™ intelligence, which tracks every piece of data and every action ever performed on it, ensuring data pipelines not only run at optimal efficiency, but do so with integrated governance capabilities. Freed from manual configurations and maintenance, data teams on Ascend drive innovation and deliver insights 10x faster than their competition.

Ingest – easily ingest data from any data lake, warehouse, database, stream, or API with little to no code. Ascend monitors, profiles, and optimizes your data automatically.

Build – create data pipelines with declarative definitions in Python, SQL, Scala, and YAML. Ascend’s Declarative Pipeline Builder visualizes code and data for easy exploration, prototyping, and instant lineage tracking.

Run – Ascend’s Autonomous Pipeline Engine optimizes your data pipelines and infrastructure with Adaptive Spark Cluster Management, dynamic resourcing, proactive data persistence, and automatic backfills.

Integrate – connect notebooks, business intelligence, machine learning, and AI applications directly to live data pipelines via JDBC, APIs, and more. Ascend’s Structured Data Lake synchronizes your data lake and pipelines, ensuring data integrity at all times.

Govern – track how data is processed, accessed, and used throughout your organization. Ascend maintains detailed records of user behavior, changes in code, and data lineage, providing unprecedented levels of auditability, reporting, and security.

Deploy Ascend on top of existing Apache Spark clusters, or as a fully managed solution.
