Welcome to Datafi
Datafi is an enterprise data federation platform built around a single promise: Everywhere, Everything, Everyone. It connects your organization's data -- wherever it lives, whatever its format -- and makes it accessible to every authorized person who needs it, without moving or duplicating the underlying data.
If you already have an account, you can sign in right now at home.datafi.us and start exploring. If not, head over to Account Registration to get set up in minutes.
Why Datafi?
Most organizations struggle with fragmented data. Databases, warehouses, lakes, SaaS applications, and spreadsheets are spread across teams, clouds, and regions. Datafi eliminates those silos by federating access to all of your data through a single, governed platform.
You do not need to migrate data, build custom pipelines, or stand up new infrastructure. You connect your sources, define policies, and your teams get instant, secure access.
The Four Pillars
Datafi is built on four foundational pillars that work together to deliver a complete data experience.
1. Unified Access
Connect to databases, data warehouses, data lakes, SaaS platforms, and file storage from a single control plane. Datafi federates queries across sources in real time, so your data stays where it is while your users get a consistent interface to explore, query, and analyze it.
- Query multiple heterogeneous sources in a single statement.
- Access data through the web interface, ODBC clients, CLI, SDK, or purpose-built Data Views and Data Apps.
- No data movement, no ETL pipelines, no duplication.
2. AI-Native
Datafi embeds artificial intelligence throughout the platform, from natural-language chat to autonomous agents that monitor and act on your data.
- Use Chat to ask questions in plain English and receive query results instantly.
- Browse and deploy pre-built agents from the Agent Catalog.
- Let Insights surface trends, anomalies, and recommendations automatically.
3. Enterprise Security
Security and governance are not bolted on after the fact -- they are woven into every layer of the platform.
- Define row-level, column-level, and object-level Policies that follow data everywhere.
- Authenticate with SSO (Google and Microsoft) and enforce MFA through your identity provider.
- Maintain a complete audit trail of every query and access event.
4. Cloud Flexibility
Datafi runs where you need it -- public cloud, private cloud, hybrid, or multi-cloud -- and adapts to your infrastructure requirements.
- Deploy on AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-premises.
- Scale compute independently of storage.
- Pay based on actual query usage, not idle infrastructure.
