Process data where
it's created

Process, govern, and route your data where it's created before it reaches the cloud.

Partners

Expanso runs AI inference, threat detection, log processing and more on the edge.

Whatever the job, the same agent runs it where the data is created.

Design and control pipelines visually

Create, edit, and deploy pipelines using a powerful visual builder or full-control YAML mode.

Pipeline Assistant

Build pipelines in plain English

An AI assistant lives inside the builder. Describe what you need and apply the YAML it writes, ask how any component works, or hand it a broken pipeline to debug.

Why Expanso

Built differently, on purpose

Not promises on a roadmap. These are properties of the architecture itself.

Actually neutral

Every destination is a first-class citizen. There is no Expanso platform your data gets steered toward, so lock-in isn't possible even in principle.

Your infrastructure, your data

Agents run on machines you control. Only control signals cross the line. Your data never touches our servers. Ever.

We run where others can't

Unreliable networks, air-gapped sites, constrained hardware. The same agent runs on all of it, no data center assumed.

Per node, not per volume

No per-GB meter. Your data can grow 10× and the bill doesn't move. Your data growth is not our revenue model.

Features

Some of the features you can expect

From real-time monitoring to streamlined collaboration and multi-cloud orchestration, these features help you build, deploy, and manage distributed workloads effortlessly.

  • Monitoring

    See how your system is running in real time — patterns, anomalies, and performance.

    Drill into metrics across nodes, pipelines, and every component within them.

  • Pipeline Library

    Explore an expanding collection of powerful pipeline examples crafted to help you learn, customize, and quickly deploy data workflows across your workspace.

  • Scalability

    Scale from your first nodes to fleet-wide rollouts. Configuration changes roll out automatically. Infrastructure scales, your team doesn't.

  • Zero Downtime Pipelines

    Resilient architecture. Buffered delivery, no firefights.

    Automatic retryLocal buffering
  • Collaboration

    Granular access control and role-based permissions let you manage who can do what, when, and where.

  • Private & Secure

    Your data is your data.
    We don't retain or process it.

  • Multi‑cloud orchestration

    With 50+ built-in outputs, you can fan out, transform, and deliver data to any cloud, on-prem, or SaaS destination — covering data warehouses, message queues, observability stacks, and the rest of your tooling.

  • Node management

    View, add, and remove nodes from your workspace with ease. Use labels to group nodes for different deployments.

  • CLI Support

    Unlock full operational control with a CLI built for speed, reliability, and enterprise workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about intelligent data pipelines, data warehouse optimization, and distributed processing.

How does Expanso reduce my Snowflake/Splunk/Datadog costs?

Expanso filters, transforms, and governs data at the source, before it reaches your expensive downstream platforms. By cutting noisy, low-value data volume upstream, you dramatically reduce ingestion, storage, and compute costs in Snowflake, Splunk, Datadog, and similar platforms. Instead of paying premium rates to process raw, noisy data in centralized systems, Expanso does the heavy lifting at the edge for pennies on the dollar, then sends only valuable, policy-compliant data downstream.

Does Expanso replace my existing data platforms?

No, we make them cheaper, faster, and more reliable. Expanso sits upstream of Snowflake, Databricks, Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, and other platforms. We're the 'data control layer' that filters noise, enforces governance policies, and optimizes data before it hits your downstream systems. You keep your existing analytics, observability, and security tools; they just work better and cost less.

How quickly can we deploy and see results?

Start with our free tier (5 nodes) or pilot a subset of your infrastructure. Most enterprises deploy to 50-100 nodes in the first month and validate cost savings before scaling to thousands of endpoints. Transparent per-node pricing means no surprises; you control the rollout pace. Typical path: pilot (weeks 1-4) → validate savings (weeks 5-8) → scale (months 3-6).

What platforms and environments does Expanso support?

Expanso runs everywhere your data originates: cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), on-prem data centers, edge locations, hybrid environments, and IoT/OT devices. Native support for Linux (x86_64, ARM64), Windows Server, containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and bare metal. Lightweight agents run on everything from a Raspberry Pi to industrial servers. Perfect for distributed enterprises with complex, multi-cloud infrastructure.

How does Expanso help with compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, industry standards)?

Expanso enforces your data policies at the source, before sensitive data reaches downstream platforms. Built-in processors redact sensitive fields (SSNs, credit cards, API keys, passwords), hash identifiable data while preserving searchability, and enforce data residency policies. Deployment options are designed for regulated environments, and pipeline payloads stay on your own nodes. Only operational metadata reaches Expanso Cloud. Data governance becomes policy-driven and automated, not manual and error-prone.
