Pipekit scales data & CI pipelines
We build a management layer on top of Argo Workflows tailored for data teams in enterprises. Our product makes it easier to create, run, and maintain complex data and CI pipelines on Kubernetes. We reduce pipeline development time by half and save companies significant costs by efficiently managing and scaling their workflows.
We are fully remote, with the team distributed across various locations. After YC, we plan to remain remote to attract talent and adapt to modern work norms.
Being remote lets us access the best developers globally and manage an open-source community around Argo Workflows without geographic limits. YC's network will help us expand while keeping this flexible setup.
