Ascend.io

Ascend.io provides a data pipeline automation platform that enables organizations to build, automate, and manage intelligent data pipelines. The platform unifies core data engineering capabilities including data ingestion, transformation, delivery, orchestration, and observability into a single solution. Its DataAware technology automatically detects and propagates changes across data ecosystems while ensuring data accuracy and integrity. The platform can reduce up to 91% of repetitive data engineering tasks, decrease data software costs by 68%, and lower ETL cloud consumption bills by up to 30%. Ascend.io operates natively on data lakes and warehouses, supporting major cloud platforms including Snowflake, Google BigQuery, and Databricks. In March 2023, the company expanded its capabilities by introducing Ascend for Data Mesh, allowing organizations to manage data across multiple cloud platforms from a single console. The platform features pipeline-specific dataset partitioning that segments data into meaningful chunks for faster processing. In September 2023, Ascend.io launched its cloud-based data engineering platform in Europe, enabling European data teams to build automated data pipelines while meeting data sovereignty requirements.
