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.
