Our inclusion in Gartner’s Market Guide reflects our dedication to providing a unified platform that automates critical data engineering processes, from integration to complex transformation and observability.

Gartner’s Insights on DataOps

Gartner’s 2024 Market Guide highlights the growing complexity of modern data workflows and the need for tools that can reduce reliance on custom solutions and manual processes. DataOps tools, such as Nexla, are essential in removing friction points in data workflows, ensuring the on-time delivery of trusted, high-quality data across multicloud environments.

Nexla’s platform is designed to meet these challenges head-on, offering a comprehensive suite of capabilities including data pipeline orchestration, observability, and automation. Our platform not only manages native data pipelines but also seamlessly integrates external ones, ensuring efficient and effective data processing, whether in batches or streaming in real-time.

Nexla’s Distinctive Capabilities

Gartner recognizes Nexla for its robust and versatile DataOps platform. Key features include:

• Nexsets: Nexsets are auto-generated data products that encapsulate not just the data but a comprehensive understanding of its metadata, transformations, and access controls. They provide a consistent interface across various data formats, making it easier for teams to collaborate and share data seamlessly.
• Pipeline Orchestration and Observability: Nexla excels in orchestrating and observing both native and external data pipelines, such as those built in dbt, Python, and Databricks. External pipelines are integrated into Nexla workflows via API calls. The platform supports both scheduled batch orchestration and real-time streaming, tracking critical metrics like data volume changes, execution duration, and error occurrences. Advanced users benefit from searchable logs and real-time notifications through webhooks.
• CI/CD Integration and Automation: Nexla supports continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) through integrations with tools like Jenkins. The platform can generate JSON manifests for sources, pipelines, and environments, facilitating infrastructure as code and ensuring efficient management of complex workflows.
• Universal Bi-directional Connectors: Nexla’s adaptive integration engine supports a wide range of data sources and destinations, eliminating the need to build new connectors as data sources evolve, thereby saving time and engineering effort.
