Thank you Jeremiah Owyang for having us! Datastrato's Lisa was there to provide live demonstrations and introduce folks to the Apache Gravitino project, including how our company leverages the open source data catalog for AI data management.

We are so excited to be one of the startups included in Cohort #4!

Last week, Tobias Macey interviewed our CEO Junping Du on his incredible podcast, #DataEngineeringPodcast. "As data architectures become more elaborate and the number of applications of data increases, it becomes increasingly challenging to locate and access the underlying data. Gravitino was created to provide a single interface to locate and query your data. In this episode Junping Du explains how Gravitino works, the capabilities that it unlocks, and how it fits into your data platform."

Can't wait! This will be an amazing event.

Building a knowledge assistant oftentimes requires connecting to lots of sources of data (e.g. vector db + SQL), but a big issue in enterprise LLM dev is data silos ?? - every new data source requires separate authentication management, and knowledge is spread out between teams. This is a nice tutorial by Lisa N. Cao showing you how to build a universal data agent with LlamaIndex + Apache Gravitino. Gravitino provides you a single source of truth to connect both your vector database and SQL tools.

We are very excited to be a part of this!

We’re excited to share that Datastrato has officially become a partner for the?Open Platform For Enterprise AI?(OPEA), the?LF AI & Data Foundation’s latest Sandbox Project. The pioneering initiative unites industry leaders to champion the development of open, multi-provider, robust, and composable GenAI systems. Datastrato was chosen in no small part due to our contributions to?Apache (incubating) Gravitino, an open source metadata lake that can catalog data from unstructured, relational, and streaming data sources.
