Databand

Databand is a data observability platform that helps data engineering teams detect and resolve data incidents in their pipelines. The company's software enables users to monitor data quality, identify root causes of errors, and ensure data service level agreements (SLAs) are met. Databand's platform unifies error logging, provides insights into data reliability, and allows users to set up custom alerts for issues like missed data deliveries or unexpected schema changes. The technology aims to catch data problems early in the integration process, before they can cause larger business impacts. Databand serves global enterprises across industries like entertainment, technology and communications. In July 2022, Databand was acquired by IBM to strengthen IBM's software portfolio in data, AI and automation. The acquisition allows Databand to integrate with IBM's existing observability and AI tools to provide more comprehensive application and data platform monitoring capabilities.

Key customers and partnerships

Databand's customer base includes major companies like FanDuel, Agoda, and Trax Retail. The platform has also been utilized by Shipper, a fast-growing technology company in Indonesia, to help detect data quality issues more rapidly and meet data SLAs. As of July 2022, Databand became part of IBM, expanding its potential reach to IBM's enterprise client base.
