Y42

Y42 is a managed DataOps platform ("Gitful data ops") that runs production-ready data pipelines on top of Snowflake and BigQuery, combining managed Airbyte ingestion, managed dbt Core for SQL models, a DAG-based orchestration scheduler, and a managed Git backend. Most workflows are driven through the Y42 web app and Git, but Y42 also exposes a documented public REST API and webhooks for programmatically managing spaces, triggering orchestration runs, and retrieving run and manifest information.

Y42 publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Manifest API, Orchestration API, Runs API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include DataOps, Data Pipelines, Orchestration, dbt, and Snowflake.

Y42’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 8 more developer resources.
