description: Expanso is the company behind Bacalhau, an open-source distributed compute orchestration framework that brings
  compute to the data by running jobs close to where data is generated across edge, on-premise, and cloud environments. Expanso
  Cloud is the managed platform for deploying intelligent data pipelines at the edge - filtering, transforming, and governing
  data (PII/GDPR compliance, lineage) before it reaches downstream platforms like Snowflake and Databricks. The Bacalhau Orchestrator
  API exposes job submission, execution history, results, log streaming, and node/agent management over a versioned REST interface.
  Expanso is backed by General Catalyst and was named Edge AI Startup of the Year 2026.
