About DataSurface
Built by engineers who've operated massive enterprise data platforms at scale. We learned from the mistakes so you don't have to.
Our Mission
Stop building data pipelines. Start delivering value.
We believe data teams should focus on solving business problems, not maintaining infrastructure. DataSurface automates the plumbing so your engineers can do what they do best—create value from data.

"I built DataSurface because I got tired of watching companies waste millions rebuilding the same data infrastructure every 3-5 years. The industry needed a logistics layer that would outlive any single technology choice. Something you could bet the company on for a decade or more."
