A Lakehouse Designed to Build the Lake

Ingext provides a complete lakehouse architecture: upstream fabric control, open lake storage, and compute — delivered as self-hosted, SaaS, or an on-prem appliance.

The key difference: Ingext treats lake creation as a first-class responsibility — not something you fix downstream after storage.

Lakehouse Architecture

Ingext is designed so ingestion decisions aren’t locked into a single downstream system.

Upstream Fabric Control

Collection, transformation, and routing happen before storage so the lake is created intentionally — not repaired later.

  • Protocol + authentication handled at ingress
  • Inline normalization and calculation
  • Purpose-based routing to multiple destinations

Open Lake Storage

Store curated data in open formats (like Parquet) so storage is cheap, portable, and analytics-ready.

  • Columnar storage for efficient scans
  • Partitioning for predictable performance
  • Designed for long retention without reindexing

Compute Where It Matters

Query, compute, and derive signals without rewriting data for each tool — keep analysis focused on results, not cleanup.

  • Reusable transformations and derived fields
  • Consistent historical + real-time semantics
  • Downstream tools receive “fit-for-purpose” data

Outcomes

  • A lake built intentionally, not repaired downstream
  • Clean, consistent data across historical and real-time
  • Downstream systems stay replaceable over time

Deployments

Ingext supports multiple delivery models without changing the architecture.

Self-Hosted

Run Ingext in your cloud or data center with full control over infrastructure, sovereignty, and costs.

  • Kubernetes deployment
  • Your object storage or disks
  • Built for scale and predictable cost

SaaS

Managed Ingext deployment with elastic scaling, upgrades, and operational support.

  • Fast time-to-value
  • Managed operations
  • Elastic growth without re-architecture

On-Prem Appliance

A dedicated on-prem deployment designed for high-throughput environments and strict network constraints.

  • High performance
  • On-prem data control
  • Turnkey operational footprint
