Upriver is an intelligent agent system that maximizes data engineering output at enterprise scale. Big Data is Plagued by Small Problems Despite massive investments in infrastructure, most data sits idle because engineering time is swallowed up by routine firefighting and low-value fixes instead of building the pipelines that unlock real business value. Using AI tools for data engineering feels like autocomplete with a fancy title. It spits out SQL, glues together a pipeline, and maybe even runs a test or two. But it doesnt think like a data engineer. Now, it can.
