About us - Your data platform, run by people who’ve built them before

QuackyData is a small, senior team that designs, builds, and operates a modern data stack on your behalf — so you get trusted, analytics-ready data without standing up a data team of your own.

We started QuackyData after watching startups burn months and six figures trying to hire data engineers, only to end up with a fragile pipeline and no one on call when it broke. There’s a better path: proven open tools, assembled and run by a team that does this every day.

We treat your platform as our responsibility, not a project we hand off. Ingestion with Airbyte, a DuckLake lakehouse on object storage, dbt and DuckDB modeling, Dagster orchestration, and data-quality monitoring — all designed, deployed, and maintained under one managed contract, in your own cloud account.

What we believe - Own your data, not the operational burden.

We think most companies should have a serious data platform long before they can justify a full data team. These beliefs shape how we work.

  • Trust over dashboards. A pretty chart built on untested data is worse than no chart. We invest in tests, lineage, and freshness checks so the numbers hold up to scrutiny.
  • Open over locked-in. Everything runs in your cloud on open tools — Airbyte, dbt, DuckDB, Dagster. If you ever outgrow us, the whole platform comes with you.
  • Managed over hired. A reliable pipeline is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-off build. We carry that operational load so your team can stay focused on the business.

Notes from the team on building and running modern data platforms — ingestion, lakehouse design, dbt modeling, orchestration, and data quality.

What 'analytics-ready data' actually means — and how dbt gets you there

Raw data is not the same as data you can trust. Here is what analytics-ready means in concrete terms — raw, staging, and marts layers, tests and freshness — and why modeling is the difference between numbers and guesses.
