IBM StreamSets

IBM StreamSets is a revolutionary data integration platform that enables real-time streaming pipelines through an intuitive graphical interface. With 90% of data-related work flowing through data engineering teams and engineers spending 50% of their time maintaining data pipelines, StreamSets offers a solution that dramatically enhances productivity, reduces risk, and enables faster decision-making.

Using IBM StreamSets’ smart data pipelines, your business can efficiently move, transform, and leverage data across hybrid and multicloud environments. The platform’s unique data drift protection technology automatically detects and adapts to unexpected changes, ensuring reliable data flows even as source systems evolve. By enabling organisations to create low-code data pipelines that execute in real-time, StreamSets helps turn data integration from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage.

The IBM StreamSets Advantage

IBM StreamSets delivers a comprehensive set of capabilities that transform how organisations handle data integration, addressing the critical challenges of speed, reliability, and adaptability. 

  • Enable real-time data ingestion at scale, handling millions of records across thousands of pipelines within seconds.
  • Create and manage streaming data pipelines with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that requires minimal coding.
  • Protect against data drift with intelligent pipelines that automatically detect and adapt to unexpected changes.
  • Deploy flexibly across public clouds, private clouds, on-premises, or hybrid environments to keep data close to where it’s used.
  • Support any data type including structured, semi-structured and unstructured data through a single platform.

Breaking down data availability barriers

IBM StreamSets breaks down critical data availability barriers by connecting to virtually any data source and destination. The platform seamlessly integrates with analytical stores, streaming platforms, and application databases, enabling unified data flows across the organisation. Companies across industries achieve performance improvements that significantly reduce data latency while increasing reliability and visibility.

  • Create analytic flows that feed data lakes and warehouses with built-in validation and quality checks.
  • Build event-driven architectures with seamless connections to messaging systems like Kafka.
  • Enable data activation by feeding applications and operational systems with low-latency data.
