ServicesEnterprise data architecture & AI integration

From brittle pipelines to an AI Ready Lakehouse.

We help enterprise teams modernize ingestion and transformations with declarative YAML + pure SQL, optimize cloud native lakehouse performance, integrate real-time AI inference, and ship governance and FinOps as code.

Declarative Data Engineering

Configuration as code ELT with schema evolution & testing.

Cloud Native Lakehouse

Elastic compute, merge on read upserts, and IO optimization.

AI & ML Integration

Unified features to avoid training serving skew and enable low latency.

Governance & FinOps

Lineage, privacy controls, and cost automation by design.

Pipeline Modernization

YAML + SQL, not spaghetti code

  • • Universal JDBC/ODBC connectivity
  • • Automated schema evolution policies
  • • Validation, privacy & lineage built in

AI Ready Lakehouse

Real time features & inference paths

  • • Merge on read upserts for low latency updates
  • • Feature definitions reused for training & serving
  • • Cost governance via spot/serverless automation

Competency Framework

Four pillars that cover the modern data stack end-to-end

Your services engagement is structured around the critical failure points in today’s data platforms so modernization is measurable, repeatable, and scalable.

Declarative Data Engineering

Modernize ELT with Configuration as code

Replace brittle scripts and opaque ETL tools with YAML driven ingestion, quality checks, and SQL first transformations that are portable across clouds.

  • Zero/low code ingestion patterns
  • Automated schema evolution policies
  • SQL transpilation (write once, run anywhere)
  • Auto lineage + dependency graphing

Cloud-Native Lakehouse

Performance and elasticity at petabyte scale

Design cloud-native lakehouse topologies that separate compute and storage, solve small-files and upsert bottlenecks, and optimize IO for object stores.

  • Compute/storage separation with Kubernetes
  • Hybrid partitioning to prevent skew
  • Merge-on-read upserts for near real time
  • Metadata scaling strategies

AI & ML Infrastructure

Close the loop between data and inference

Unify feature engineering across training and serving to eliminate skew, support large sparse feature spaces, and enable real time inference paths.

  • Unified feature definitions via SQL
  • Real-time inference integration paths
  • Support for sparse / large feature spaces
  • Online learning ready architectures

FinOps & Governance

Cost, security, and compliance by design

Ship cloud cost controls, lineage, and privacy controls as code so production platforms remain auditable, secure, and economically sustainable.

  • Policy-as-code for privacy and controls
  • Column-level encryption and masking
  • Auditability and automated lineage
  • Spot ready + serverless cost strategies

Services

A complete catalog of capabilities from pipelines to AI to governance

Choose a targeted engagement or combine modules into an end-to-end modernization program.

What you get

Production grade architecture, implementation, and enablement delivered with the same declarative principles we advocate.

  • Architecture blueprints and reference implementations
  • Production deployment and hardening
  • Team enablement (YAML + SQL + CI workflows)
  • Performance and cost optimization playbooks

Engagement Model

A predictable path from assessment to production and continuous optimization

We structure work in phases so you can deliver value early, reduce risk, and scale confidently.

Phase
01

Assess & Align

Understand the current platform, constraints, and target outcomes. Define success metrics and a migration plan.

Phase
02

Design

Create reference architectures for ingestion, lakehouse layout, AI integration, and governance/FinOps controls.

Phase
03

Implement

Deliver production grade pipelines and platform components with security, testing, and operational runbooks.

Phase
04

Enable

Train teams on declarative engineering (YAML + SQL), local dev with DuckDB, and CI/CD workflows.

Phase
05

Optimize

Tune performance and cost continuously: lakehouse compaction/partitioning, spot/serverless strategy, and governance automation.

Starlake integrates effortlessly for maximum flexibility.

Ready to modernize?

Let’s map your path to an AI Ready Lakehouse.

Share your current stack and constraints our team will propose an actionable blueprint and a phased delivery plan.

Typical outcomes

Concrete improvements you can operationalize within weeks, not quarters.

  • Standardized pipelines that are self-documenting and audit-ready
  • Faster delivery via declarative configuration changes
  • Lower cloud spend with spot/serverless-ready architecture patterns
  • Governance and privacy controls embedded in the data lifecycle

Start with a strategy call

We’ll review your pipelines, lakehouse layout, and AI/governance requirements and identify the fastest path to production value.
