Open-source data integration engineered for AI agents and analytics
Connect databases, SaaS tools, files, and APIs to warehouses, lakes, and other destinations without writing ingestion code for each source.
Define a custom connector declaratively in minutes when no prebuilt one exists, then use it like any other connector in your pipelines.
Serve warehouse data to AI agents through an MCP server with inherited access controls, so agents get context without bypassing governance.
Choose fully managed Cloud, a hybrid model where pipelines run in your own VPC, or the self-hosted open-source core.
