What is Ascend?

Ascend is the world’s first Autonomous Dataflow Service where you can build, scale, and operate continuously optimized pipelines with less code and fewer breakages.

Powered by Ascend’s Dataflow Control Plane, the platform combines declarative configurations and automation to manage cloud infrastructure, optimize pipelines, and eliminate maintenance across the entire data lifecycle.

Get Started

Before diving in, you'll need to set up your Ascend Cloud Account. From there, you can opt to create a pre-configured pipeline, or start with a blank canvas.

Set Up Ascend Cloud

To get started in Ascend, we suggest setting up your Ascend Cloud Dev Tier account. You can connect with BigQuery, Databricks, or Snowflake. You can begin immediately by using your own data.

Quickstart Guides

The Quickstart Guides are step-by-step tutorials designed to help you explore the capabilities of Ascend using publicly available data.
