Matillion Data Productivity Cloud
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud builds and manages data pipelines that deliver data for AI and analytics; Matillion says it is now called Maia Foundation. Users design pipelines on a visual low-code canvas, add SQL or Python components, or import dbt models. Pre-built and custom connectors move data between systems, with Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and Redshift listed as supported cloud data platforms. The platform handles batch loading and log-based change data capture, including a containerized agent for secure extraction from cloud or on-premises sources. Deployment is hybrid, with incremental loading and custom-code transformations supported. Credits are consumed by pipeline task hours and developer users beyond included allowances, while validation and sampling are not billed. The free trial provides 500 credits, full feature access, sample datasets, and a provided data warehouse without commitment. Developer targets individuals, Teams scaling businesses, and Scale large organizations. Pricing is on request. Matillion was founded in 2011 and has headquarters in Denver and Manchester.
