Dozer | Open-source Data Infrastructure Platform

Co-founded by Matteo Pelati and Vivek Gudapuri, Dozer helps engineers instantly create highly scalable real-time data APIs. The startup has emerged from stealth, and its platform is now openly accessible to developers. 

It offers a plug-and-play data infrastructure backend, allowing engineers to easily connect with any data source, combine them and create real-time APIs to build end-user applications in minutes, all with a simple configuration.

Speaking about the development, Matteo and Vivek, Co-founders of Dozer, said, 

“We believe that companies will continue to invest in real-time, data-driven products that offer users a 10 times experience – and the picks and shovels that enable this will unlock tremendous value. Dozer offers a novel approach to building data APIs, playing in a very strategic and potentially large TAM.”

The platform is open-source and built in Rust, a low-level programming language that is well known for its fast performance and memory safety and can be extended to support new data sources or transformations.

Dozer connects with a wide variety of databases such as Postgres and MySQL, data warehouses such as Snowflake, and even the Ethereum blockchain ledger. The platform enables engineers to aggregate data across multiple sources to glean real-time insights and build features for customer personalisation, according to an official statement given by the company.
