91crew

We design and ship data platforms that stay operable — lakehouses, catalogs, and pipelines built with open formats and clear ownership.

Why work with a crew

Not a slide deck shop. Practitioners who own architecture and delivery together — from first catalog table to production syncs.

Ship the platform

Scoped builds: ingestion, table formats, catalog, compute wiring, and the runbooks your team can keep.

Open where it matters

Iceberg-first layouts, engine-agnostic catalogs, and escape hatches so you are not locked into one vendor story.

Product on the horizon

Consulting funds the craft. An open catalog / platform product is on the waitlist — same crew, same standards.

Services

High-intent work we take on for mid-market and product-led data teams.

Data engineering delivery

Pipelines, quality gates, and platform ops — from greenfield to rescue missions on fragile estates.

Lakehouse & warehouse modernization

Migrate toward open table formats, cut duplicate storage, and make analytics engines share one source of truth.

Catalog foundations

REST catalogs, governance hooks, and Spark / Trino wiring so tables are discoverable and safe to change.

Migration & hardening

Cutover plans, backfills, and reliability work so the new path is quieter than the old one.

How engagements run

A short loop from clarity to running software.

  1. Discover

    Sources, pain, constraints, and what “done” means.

  2. Define

    Architecture sketch, milestones, and success checks.

  3. Build

    Catalog, tables, pipelines, and the interfaces teams use.

  4. Harden

    Observability, ownership, and cutover without drama.

  5. Hand off

    Docs, runbooks, and optional retainers for evolution.
