About ExpansoWe bring intelligence to the source
Expanso brings policy-driven pipelines to the edge, processing and governing data the moment it's created, before costly centralization.
We solve the distributed data problem
Expanso processes data where it's created, on hardware you control, so you stop paying to ship noise to the cloud. Filter, transform and run AI at the source, and send only what's worth sending to Splunk, Snowflake or Databricks. Your pipeline data never touches Expanso's servers.
The old model ships everything to an expensive center and hopes for insight. We reverse it: data is processed, governed, and understood where it's created, from the factory floor to the hospital ward.
That means real decisions in real time, sensitive data that never leaves your infrastructure, and far less noise arriving downstream.
Built to run at production scale
Tested at scale with more than 10,000 nodes orchestrated from one control plane.
Measured across the fleet over the last twelve months. A record, not a promise.
Runs everywhere your data originates: AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem data centers, and edge devices.
Connect the systems you already use. Nothing to replace, nothing to migrate.

What we stand for
Five values shape how we hire, how we disagree, and what we ship. The product changes with the roadmap; these don't.
The best time to solve a problem is before it becomes a problem. We tackle problems where they start, not after they've spread.
Trust is earned through openness. We share our thinking, admit mistakes quickly, and believe the best solutions come from collaboration, not closed doors.
Our success is measured by the success of our customers, our community, and our team. We build tools that give people control, not dependency.
Compute, bandwidth, time, and energy are finite. We build solutions that respect these limits. Efficiency isn't just good engineering; it's good citizenship.
We ask questions, we experiment, we fail forward. Humility keeps us learning; curiosity keeps us relevant.
By decentralizing data processing through Compute Over Data, we're building a future where technology is more accessible, efficient, and secure for everyone.
How we build
Most companies fight fires downstream, wrestling with data that's already out of control, scattered across systems, and burning through budgets. We believe the answer is upstream: controlling problems where they start, before they spiral into chaos.
