Ascend is a unified data pipeline automation platform designed to simplify and accelerate the entire data lifecycle, from ingestion to consumption. It provides a single platform where engineers can build, run, and evolve intelligent pipelines without writing boilerplate code or managing complex infrastructure, which ultimately reduces time-to-market for data products.
The platform’s core is its DataAware Intelligence, which provides deep visibility and automated actions across the entire data estate. Ascend automatically manages pipeline orchestration, data lineage, dependency resolution, and continuous optimization. It features Automatic End-to-End Dependency Management, ensuring that data pipelines are always running efficiently by identifying and resolving complex dependencies. Furthermore, Ascend supports running complex transformations and processing workloads using familiar tools like SQL, Python, and Scala, while handling all the underlying infrastructure, including provisioning, scaling, and fault tolerance, automatically. This focus on automation allows data teams to concentrate on business logic rather than infrastructure concerns.
