Bauplan vs Graviti

Bauplan is a data lakehouse for running Python and SQL pipelines directly on Apache Iceberg tables in a user's object storage, without managing servers or clusters. It uses serverless execution for Python pipelines and supports Python, SQL, and mixed workloads on the same tables. Data branches, isolated runs, atomic publishes, and rollback are intended to safeguard changes to production data. Bauplan also describes workflows where AI agents build pipelines, explore data, and manage a lakehouse through its MCP Server and Skills. Integrations listed include Airflow, Prefect, Dagster, Temporal, DBOS, Jupyter, Marimo, Streamlit, Snowflake, BigQuery, Metabase, Superset, Fivetran, and Airbyte. Bauplan says customer data stays in the customer's S3 bucket and offers PrivateLink or bring-your-own-cloud options. Its free Sandbox uses a shared environment where all data is public, which the company recommends for toy projects and demos rather than company data. Dedicated costs $700 a month after the first 14 days free and includes a dedicated private instance, data in the customer's S3, 10GB memory, and unlimited queries, users, and agents. Enterprise pricing is custom. Bauplan states that it is SOC 2 Type II compliant.

Graviti is a data platform for organizing unstructured data used in analytics and AI. It brings raw files, metadata, and semantic data into one place, with customizable filters for querying the latter two. Datasets can be managed through commits and branches, using incremental versioning that avoids duplicating data. Supported material includes images, video, lidar formats such as .pnts, .pcd, .bin, .las, and .ply, as well as time-series and fusion datasets. Annotation options include Classification, Box, Polygon, Polyline, and Cuboid. Users can inspect data and annotation distributions online through lists, histograms, and pie charts without downloading datasets or writing code. Developers can work through a Python SDK, OpenAPI, or command-line interface. Processing workflows can run on commits or manually, and their jobs can use any programming language with Graviti APIs. The platform also offers role-based dataset access, GroundTruth Tools, and marketplace integrations. It is available through web and API. The Starter plan is free; paid plans start at $200/mo, and a 14-day trial is available.
