Getting Started

Quick Start

Build your first pipeline in under 5 minutes.

Step 1: Create a Pipeline

Navigate to the Pipelines page and click New Pipeline. Give it a name and optional description. The visual canvas will open automatically.

Step 2: Add a Data Source

Drag a Source node onto the canvas. Choose your connector type and configure connection details. Altius supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, and 200+ more connectors.

Step 3: Add Transformations

Add Transform nodes between your source and destination. Use Map, Filter, Aggregate, Join, or Custom Code transformations. Schema validation runs automatically on every connection.

Step 4: Configure Destination

Add a Sink node and configure your destination. Choose where the transformed data should land: a database, data warehouse, API, or file.

Step 5: Validate and Deploy

Click Validate to check all schema compatibilities. Fix any issues, then click Propose to create a deployment proposal. Review with your team, approve, and deploy.
