Introduction

Our mission

Hello there! We’re Rob & Paul from Acheron.cloud (https://acheron.cloud). We built a solution that takes away your need to hire extra senior data-engineering expertise.

We let you manage your data landscape from one central place — your code repository. Each and every data object in your data landscape can be traced back to the code that was responsible for its creation. If you like to make a change to one of your objects, just add your change to the code repository; we do rest. It’s kind of like writing in the book of Santa-Clause: each time a present is added to the book, it is automatically delivered in the real world, and the book has the full log all presents ever given.

Problem

Have you ever deployed a change to a data environment that went wrong?

  • Broken backup script

  • Missing objects

  • Insufficient privileges

  • Data loss

Now imagine this happens on your production environment…​

Data environments tend to be complex, and -from our experience- a lot of them are poorly managed. Code that once worked on a dev-environment, are left broken in a code repository for a follow colleague to find when the next production change needs to go live.

We like to change that.

Proposition

The Acheron Database Manager allows data engineers and BI developers to develop faster (speed) with high quality standards and with full auditability:

  • Speed: SQL-templates allow to reuse SQL code

  • Quality: all changes are subjected to automatic testing and mandatory peer reviews

  • Auditability: the execution logs show all executed statements per environment

Without the Database manager, it is impossible to have:

  • a mirror of the source code of the data platform setup

  • repeatable results on all environments (TAP)

  • auditability and traceability

With the Database manager, this is guaranteed to hold at all times.
