Overview

Matillion is a cloud-native data integration platform designed specifically for modern cloud data warehouses. Founded in 2011, Matillion focuses on making data integration simple and accessible through visual, drag-and-drop interfaces while leveraging the power and scalability of cloud data platforms.

The platform is built to work seamlessly with major cloud data warehouses including Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, and Microsoft Azure Synapse. Matillion's approach emphasizes ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) over traditional ETL, pushing transformation logic down to the data warehouse for better performance.
