Putki: Bringing Enterprise-Grade Reliability to Apache Hop

NOTE: this is a repost of a post on the know.bi blog earlier.

At know.bi, we believe in the power of open source as the backbone of innovation, collaboration, and technological growth. But here’s the reality: open-source software, as powerful as it is, also has its limitations. Community support may be available but has its limitations, and building up the necessary knowledge is a long-term and therefore expensive job, to name just a few. Pure open source is not your best option to run in production in an enterprise context..

This is why we’re thrilled to announce Putki, our new platform that transforms Apache Hop into a fully enterprise-grade solution.

Why Putki?

Apache Hop has revolutionized data integration and pipeline management. Its flexibility, ease of use, and open-source DNA make it an incredible tool for developers, analysts, and data engineers alike.

But when it comes to running Apache Hop in mission-critical production environments, there are challenges:

• Lack of enterprise-level support for troubleshooting and maintenance.
• Scalability limitations for complex workflows and high-demand use cases.
• Security and compliance requirements that go unmet without robust enterprise controls.
• Performance optimization for large-scale deployments.
• Documentation and training may be available but often are limited and are not tailored to your very specific needs.

That’s where Putki comes in.

“We Love Open Source. Don’t Run It in Production.”

While open source is a phenomenal starting point, running it in production requires more than just great code — it requires stability and support.

Putki bridges the gap between the innovation of Apache Hop and the demands of enterprise production environments.

What Makes Putki Enterprise-Grade?

Here’s how Putki enhances Apache Hop to meet your enterprise needs:

1. Enterprise Support

Our team is here to ensure your data pipelines keep running smoothly, no matter what challenges arise. From rapid troubleshooting to expert guidance, we’ve got you covered.

2. Security and Compliance

The Putki code base is actively scanned for known vulnerabilities in its own code, but also in dependencies. Patches are provided when critical issues are discovered, without the need to wait for a developer community.

Putki’s enhanced security features like role-based access controls and compliance with industry standards, you’re sure your data stays safe and your organization stays compliant.

3. Performance and Optimization

Putki fine-tunes Apache Hop for real-world enterprise use, delivering unparalleled performance even under the most demanding conditions.

4. Stability at Scale

We’ve optimized Apache Hop to handle complex workflows, massive data volumes, and high-throughput environments without breaking a sweat.

5. Innovation Without Constraints

You get the flexibility and innovation of open-source software, combined with the reliability of an enterprise-grade platform. It’s the best of both worlds.

Additional Putki platforms let you unlock data from enterprise platforms without the need to develop complex pipelines on your own, and provide better insights into data project’s stability, reliability and performance.
