Data

One version of the numbers, trusted by everyone.

We build pipelines and warehouses that finance, product and leadership can all quote from — tested, documented, and cheap enough that nobody flinches at the query bill.

What we build

Inside Data Engineering.

01

Warehouse & lakehouse

Modelled layers from raw to semantic, with tests and lineage.

02

Ingestion

CDC from production databases, SaaS connectors, and event collection.

03

Streaming

Near-real-time pipelines for operational analytics and alerting.

04

Governance

Data contracts, PII classification, retention and access policy.

05

Analytics enablement

Semantic layers, dbt metrics, and self-serve dashboards teams trust.

Comparison

Warehouse platforms compared

Query patterns and existing cloud contracts usually decide this more than raw benchmarks.

OptionStrengthTrade-offChoose it when
SnowflakeElastic compute separation, excellent sharing and governance.Credit spend creeps without discipline.Multi-team analytics with mixed workloads.
BigQueryServerless, no cluster management, strong GCP integration.On-demand pricing punishes unbounded scans.GCP-centric estates and event-scale data.
DatabricksUnified analytics and ML on open table formats.Steeper learning curve; more knobs to tune.Heavy ML and large unstructured datasets.
ClickHouseExtremely fast aggregations at very low cost.Fewer managed governance features; modelling is stricter.Product analytics and user-facing dashboards.
Advantages
  • Tested, documented models end the monthly argument about whose number is right.
  • Cost controls and incremental models keep spend predictable as volume grows.
  • Clean data foundations shorten every later ML project.
Honest trade-offs
  • Data quality is an ongoing commitment, not a project with an end date.
  • Real-time pipelines cost several times more than daily batch — only where it pays.
  • Governance needs organisational buy-in beyond the engineering team.
