Paradigm Shift in Data Architecture

From brittle batch jobs to continuous data velocity

Cortex turns batch data pipelines into continuous, sub-millisecond streams without rewriting your existing systems.

Legacy Batch Pipelines

Fragile & Stale

Cron • Hourly ETL • Micro-batches

4–6 Hour Data Staleness

Decisions and analytical dashboards are always operating on yesterday’s facts while downstream consumers wait on scheduled cron jobs.

PoiNightly Warehouse Compute Spikesnt 2

Expensive Snowflake and Databricks clusters run at 100% capacity just to re-aggregate unchanged rows, burning 60%+ of data cloud budgets.

Silent DAG Failures & Re-runs

One upstream schema drift or missing record halts the entire Airflow DAG, requiring on-call engineering triage at 3:00 AM.

Brittle Custom ETL Glue Code

Fragile Python scripts and spark connectors that break every time downstream applications evolve their schemas.

Avg Ingestion Latency:

2 to 6 hours delay

Simple Frictionless Setup

From batch to real-time in three steps

No massive multi-quarter migration projects. Connect your existing databases, define your streaming logic, and go live.

01

Step 1

Connect your sources

Point Cortex to your existing PostgreSQL databases, Apache Kafka clusters, MySQL instances, or cloud object stores. No schema migrations or read-replica overhead needed.
Non-invasive logical WAL replication with zero lock contention
Automatic TLS 1.3 mutual handshake and KMS key negotiation
Auto-discovers existing schema catalogs and partitioned tables

02

Step 2

Define your transformations

Express your transformations using familiar standard SQL or compile high-performance Rust and C++ modules directly to WebAssembly with zero external runtime dependencies.
Standard ANSI SQL with continuous tumbling, hopping & session windows
Bare-metal compilation straight to SIMD machine code
Stateful aggregations with sub-millisecond in-memory checkpoints

03

Step 3

Go live with full observability

Deploy across 38 global edge clusters with automated failover. Trace individual records with cryptographic audit logs and sub-5ms automated rerouting.
Sub-millisecond packet-level distributed tracing via OpenTelemetry
Automatic BGP Anycast routing with zero single point of failure
Deterministic sub-1.42ms P99 SLA with hardware enclave protection
cortex-cli // Step 01: Connect your sources
# Step 1: Connect your existing Postgres and Kafka sources
cortex source add \
--name "prod-payments-db" \
--driver postgresql \
--connection "postgres://ro_sync@db-primary.internal:5432/finance" \
--cdc-mode logical-replication \
--tables "orders, settlements, ledger_entries"
-- Output: [OK] Compiled to SIMD binary. Execution speed: 4.84 GB/s
