Tower

What is Tower?
Tower is a data platform for the next generation of Python-based data and AI apps. You can run any Python code on Tower, including dlt pipelines and dlt+ projects. Tower deals with infrastructure provisioning and scaling and is loved by data engineers for its support of local development and its smooth transitions to cloud-based production environment. Tower also keeps Heads of Data Platforms happy by securing company’s data and working cost-effectively alongside the Big Data engines on shared Iceberg or Delta Lake data storage.

Who benefits from Tower
Startups and Scaleups in industries where data processing is a critical component of their product, e.g. AI-based services, cybersecurity, financial services.
Typical Tower customers have a large number of data pipelines for ETL or Batch Inference and use a Python-oriented stack including dltHub and DataFrame libraries such as Polars, Apache DataFusion etc.

dltHub + Taktile case study
Taktile is the leading decision intelligence platform for FinTechs around the world. Taktile’s data team operates a Snowflake data warehouse and onboards data from a large number of data sources using the dlt library from dltHub.

Taktile's data team constantly gets requests to onboard new data sources. To make it easy for everyone across the org to contribute to the creation of high-quality data sets, they employed dltHub and Tower. Taktile went from a team of 2 data engineers capable of making changes to their data platform to pretty much everyone who knows a bit of Python. Taktile used dltHub for data extraction, loading and transformation, and Tower to simplify team collaboration and create environments with shared secrets and dependencies. Tower also served as a portable Python runtime that enabled smooth transition from local development to cloud testing and production.

“Tower is like Docker, Dagster, and Jenkins having a baby. 🐳 + 🐙 + 🤵🏼‍♂️ = 💜”
- Simon Rosenberger, Head of Data Platform at Taktile
