Twirl

Twirl is a fully managed data platform that enables teams to build and deploy production-ready data pipelines. The platform allows data teams to develop and test entire pipelines from their laptops while combining programming languages like SQL and Python, and mixing batch and stream processing. Built with continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) capabilities, Twirl automatically runs code in the cloud as a service. The platform eliminates the need for multiple tools like Airflow, dbt, Docker, and Kubernetes by providing a unified data transformation layer for analytics, machine learning, and AI. Founded in Stockholm in 2022, the platform enforces data contracts, provides first-class dbt support, and includes features for unit testing and code packaging. All data is stored and processed within the customer's cloud account to maintain data security. Companies have used Twirl for various applications, from automating credit decisions to aggregating and displaying user-facing statistics in language-learning applications. For some organizations, the platform has eliminated the need to hire dedicated data engineering teams.
