Ingest from files, APIs, cloud warehouses, SaaS apps, and streaming sources—no custom code required.
Auto-detect and normalize data types, formats, and column structures with built-in intelligence.
Apply access policies, validation rules, and lineage tracking at the point of ingest — not retroactively.
Ascend intelligently ingests only new or changed data — reducing pipeline runtime, cutting compute costs, and accelerating delivery.
Catch errors before they propagate with built-in checks, version control, and audit trails.
Ascend supports ingestion from virtually any source — from S3 to SQL Server, Snowflake to Synapse. Use form-based setup for common sources, or extend with custom Python modules when you need more control.
Ascend’s visual Connection Browser lets you preview file structures, inspect tables, and validate schema details from any connection in one place.
Ascend makes it easy to configure data sources with guided forms and built-in validation to help you get it right the first time.
Ascend tracks schema changes at ingest, helping you catch mismatches and drift before they break your workflows.
Ascend intelligently tracks what’s changed and only processes new or updated data — no full re-runs required. Whether you're ingesting millions of files or syncing ever-changing tables, Ascend's Smart Tables keep your pipelines efficient by design.
