Amperity Bridge

Amperity Bridge allows users to share data between Amperity and a data lakehouse using industry-standard data formats. Each bridge can be quickly configured to enable inbound and/or outbound connections that give your brand access to shared tables without replicating data.

Advantages of Amperity Bridge include:

• Fast setup Connect Amperity to a data lakehouse in minutes using sharing keys instead of integrations.

• Zero copy Control access to shared tables without replicating data across platforms. Build pipelines faster and consolidate your brand’s storage costs into a single location.

• Scalable processing Enrich massive volumes of data quickly. Data is not moved or transformed from where it resides. Model customer data directly in the data lakehouse or model it in Amperity.

• Live data View customer data at rest in a data lakehouse or in Amperity through a shared catalog. Explore and query data without waiting for refreshes or updates.
