Querona
YouNeedIT
We make BI & Big Data analytics work easier and faster. Our goal is to empower business users and make always-busy business and heavily loaded BI specialists less dependent on each other when solving data-driven business problems. If you have ever experienced a lack of data you needed, time to consuming report generation or long queue to your BI expert, consider Querona. Querona uses a built-in Big Data engine to handle growing data volumes. Repeatable queries can be cached or calculated in advance. Optimization needs less effort as Querona automatically suggests query improvements. Querona empowers business analysts and data scientists by putting self-service in their hands. They can easily discover and prototype data models, add new data sources, experiment with query optimization and dig in raw data. Less IT is needed. Now users can get live data no matter where it is stored. If databases are too busy to be queried live, Querona will cache the data. -

Molecula
Molecula
Molecula is an enterprise feature store that simplifies, accelerates, and controls big data access to power machine-scale analytics and AI. Continuously extracting features, reducing the dimensionality of data at the source, and routing real-time feature changes into a central store enables millisecond queries, computation, and feature re-use across formats and locations without copying or moving raw data. The Molecula feature store provides data engineers, data scientists, and application developers a single access point to graduate from reporting and explaining with human-scale data to predicting and prescribing real-time business outcomes with all data. Enterprises spend a lot of money preparing, aggregating, and making numerous copies of their data for every project before they can make decisions with it. Molecula brings an entirely new paradigm for continuous, real-time data analysis to be used for all your mission-critical applications. -

Kestra
Kestra
Kestra is an open-source, event-driven orchestrator that simplifies data operations and improves collaboration between engineers and business users. By bringing Infrastructure as Code best practices to data pipelines, Kestra allows you to build reliable workflows and manage them with confidence. Thanks to the declarative YAML interface for defining orchestration logic, everyone who benefits from analytics can participate in the data pipeline creation process. The UI automatically adjusts the YAML definition any time you make changes to a workflow from the UI or via an API call. Therefore, the orchestration logic is defined declaratively in code, even if some workflow components are modified in other ways.
