        Data Operations (DataOps) is a methodology focused on the delivery of agile business intelligence and data science through the automation and orchestration of data integration and processing pipelines, incorporating improved data reliability and integrity via data monitoring and observability.

They are under increasing pressure to deliver high-performance and flexible data integration and processing pipelines that are capable of handling the rising volume and frequency of data. Automation is a potential solution to this challenge and can improve the productivity of data engineers by providing an interface to develop, test and productionize data pipelines in coordination with continuous integration and continuous delivery development processes.

        Ventana Research selected Ascend.io for the 16th Annual Data Digital Innovation Award for its single platform that handles data ingestion, transformation, orchestration, observability and delivery. The platform provides a declarative approach to data pipeline creation and management, as well as automated fingerprinting of data and code for observability.

        There are numerous standalone tools in the DataOps category designed to improve productivity for data engineers across multiple disciplines including data integration, orchestration an observability. Ascend Data Pipeline Automation Platform is designed to deliver further productivity by providing a single environment that addresses five key areas of functionality: data ingestion, transformation, orchestration, observability and delivery.

        Ascend.io assembled a broad and deep portfolio of capabilities to address the requirements data engineers have in relation to managing and automating data pipelines.
