Overview
Lightup monitors enterprise data pipelines for freshness, volume and distribution anomalies using unsupervised models. Founded in 2019 in California, it pushes checks down into the warehouse so that large tables can be scanned cheaply. Its alerts tell analytics and machine learning teams when upstream data has silently broken.
