Sense — Streaming · CDC · Edge telemetry

Sense is the intake manifold of the refinery. We treat every signal — revenue, risk, behaviour, sentiment, machine telemetry — as governed fuel from the moment it leaves its source. No silent loss, no shadow pipelines, no 'we'll add it later'.

FAQs

Things prospects ask

Do you replace our existing ETL?

No — we coexist. Sense streams change events alongside batch jobs, then we retire batch as confidence grows.

What about edge devices on poor networks?

Lightweight collectors with store-and-forward + back-pressure. We've shipped on 2G fleet networks.
