Prophecy: Apple of Data Engineering with Raj Bains

Prophecy is a complete Low-Code Data Engineering Platform for the Enterprise. Prophecy enables all your teams on Apache Spark with a unique low-code designer. While you visually build your Dataflows – Prophecy generates high-quality Spark code on Git. Then, you can schedule Spark workflows with Prophecy’s low-code Airflow. Not only that, Prophecy provides end-to-end visibility into your dataflows with Metadata Search and Column Level Lineage. 

For Enterprises, in addition to developing new workflows, data teams also need to migrate thousands of old proprietary ETL workflows to the cloud. For that, Prophecy has built a Transpiler that automatically converts AbInitio, Informatica, SSIS and Alteryx workflows to high-quality Spark code. Learn more at www.prophecy.io.
