Introducing Datanika: Open-Source Data Pipelines for Everyone

Why We Built Datanika

Building data pipelines shouldn't require stitching together five different tools. Most teams today need a data loader (Fivetran, Airbyte), a transformation tool (dbt Cloud), a scheduler (Airflow, Dagster), and a monitoring solution — each with its own learning curve, billing, and maintenance burden.

Datanika takes a different approach: one platform for the entire pipeline.

What Datanika Does

  • Extract & Load — Connect to 30 sources (databases, APIs, SaaS tools, files) and load data into your warehouse using dlt.
  • Transform — Write SQL models powered by dbt-core, with a built-in editor, tests, and snapshots.
  • Orchestrate — Build visual pipelines with a DAG editor, set up schedules with cron expressions, and define dependencies.
  • Monitor — Track every run with streaming logs, error details, and execution history.

Open Source First

Datanika's core is open source under AGPL-3.0. You can self-host it with Docker Compose or use our managed platform at app.datanika.io.
