What is Coalesce?

How Is Coalesce Different?

Coalesce has been designed from the ground up to scale better in enterprise environments with thousands of tables and where managing data at scale becomes challenging.

The Coalesce product is built around the concept of "metadata" - column and table level information that describes the structure and transformations inside your data warehouse. This metadata makes both designing and deploying data warehouses easier, especially at enterprise scale.

Designing with metadata allows your team to define your data warehouse with column level understanding, standardization with data patterns (templates) and enables granular column-level data modeling.

This metadata is also used to track past, current, and desired deployment states of your data warehouse over time. This gives you unparalleled visibility and control of your change management workflows, enabling your team to build and review a plan before deploying changes to the data warehouse.

Coalesce's Origin Story and Philosophy on Data Transformation

To understand the value Coalesce offers, it is critical to understand our origin story and our philosophy on data transformation and pipelines.

The story of our company, Coalesce.io, is not one of friends who had a eureka moment, dropped out of college, and built software out of their parents’ garage. Rather, our story is about passionate people who “grew up” in the enterprise data warehouse space together at a time when people said “the data warehouse is dead" and realizing that simply was not true. Watch the video below and read our origin story here to learn more.
