Why Ascend?
Focus on what to do with your data.
Not how to do it.
The cloud-native Ascend Unified Data Engineering Platform removes the traditional burdens of data pipelines, freeing data teams from the status quo of pipeline maintenance so they can spend more time bringing innovations to life.
Ascend.io’s flex-code approach democratizes data engineering with 10x faster build velocity, automated maintenance, and 95% less code.
Simple
Build Faster
Leverage declarative configurations to build data pipelines with 95% less code. Iterate, test, and productionize with no disruptions or downtime.
Smart
Change Whenever
Add, remove, and edit data sets and logic in minutes. Ascend tracks full data lineage, backfilling and propagating changes automatically.
Powerful
Run Forever
Ascend continuously monitors for changes to code and data, automatically keeping your pipelines up-to-date and keeping you from getting paged at 3am.
How we help
A robust platform, built with intelligence
Impossible to do with any other system, the built-in DataAware™ intelligence layer observes, understands, and tracks every piece of data to dynamically generate data pipelines that run more efficiently, with fully integrated lineage tracking, auditability, and governance.
Ingest Anything
Connect to any data lake, warehouse, database, stream, or API with little to no code.
Build Faster
Create autonomous data pipelines with 95% less code. Write in SQL, Python, Scala, and Java interchangeably.
Run Autonomously
Optimize data pipelines and infrastructure with dynamic resourcing, intelligent persistence, and advanced deduplication.
Integrate Everywhere
Connect data pipelines with your favorite BI tools, notebooks, and big data systems.
Govern Automatically
Track code, data, and users with a suite of granular monitoring, reporting, and security capabilities.
Built for everyone
Flexible Coding Options
Low-code and no-code technologies have risen to prominence in recent years, where these lower-code technologies use visual interfaces that abstract away the majority of coding required to build business logic. However, they greatly limit the flexibility to meet more complex needs with custom code when needed.
The Ascend.io flex-code approach addresses both needs under one unified framework.
Analysts benefit from low-code features
Engineers can add raw code to handle special situations
