Founded in 2016, Nexla streamlines the process of getting ready-to-use data to more applications and more users without having to use tens of different tools. It provides a unified platform that brings together capabilities to integrate, transform, deliver, and monitor data in a collaborative no-code/low-code manner. These capabilities are powered by a “data fabric architecture” using continuous metadata intelligence which automatically generates logical data products called Nexsets. Nexla’s unique architecture abstracts the diversity, distribution, scale, and complexity of data in modern enterprise’s data assets resulting in a solution that was recently recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor

At enterprises like DoorDash, Instacart, Poshmark, Freshworks, LiveRamp, and Bed Bath & Beyond, Nexla sits between the data infrastructure layer and data consumption layer delivering a modern data stack serving both analytical and operational applications with ready-to-use data. Built for analysts, data scientists, front-line staff, and data engineers, Nexla is covering the gap between data experts and data systems experts with a highly collaborative environment for people of all skill levels through a combination of Web UI, APIs, SDK and Command Line Interface (CLI). This means data users can create their own automated data flows getting the data they need where they need it without waiting for expert data engineers. This quick time to value and business agility is ultimately what data operations is all about.
