// Data Engineering Consultancy

Modern data infrastructure, built on open source.

We design and operate high-performance analytics platforms on StarRocks, Kubernetes and Postgres — orchestrated with Kestra and dbt, and served through a custom Python semantic layer. No vendor lock-in. Predictable cost. Production-grade from day one.

// What we do

Three disciplines, one cohesive platform

From raw source systems to executive dashboards, we own every layer of the modern data stack — and we run it on technology you actually own.

BI & Data Warehousing

Massively parallel analytics on StarRocks, deployed on Kubernetes with PostgreSQL operational stores. Sub-second queries on billions of rows — without paying per-query rent.

StarRocks MPP K8s Postgres

ETL & Orchestration

Reliable, observable data pipelines built with Kestra for orchestration and dbt for transformation. Tested, version-controlled and continuously deployed.

Semantic Layer

A custom Python-based semantic layer that turns scattered SQL into governed business metrics — one source of truth for dashboards, APIs and AI assistants.

Enterprise-grade engineering, without enterprise-grade lock-in

01 / OPEN BY DEFAULT

You own the stack

Every layer of what we ship is open source. Your data, models and metrics live in systems you control — on your cloud, on-prem, or hybrid.

02 / PERFORMANCE

MPP at warehouse scale

StarRocks delivers Snowflake-class query performance at a fraction of the cost. Real-time ingestion, materialised views, and concurrent BI for hundreds of users.

03 / OPERATIONAL

Production from day one

Kubernetes-native deployments, observability baked in, version-controlled transformations and tested pipelines. Built to run for years, not demos.
