One access layer for your entire data stack.

Columnar Gateway gives applications and agents one fast, consistent path to databases and query engines. Platform teams get one place to observe, secure, and manage every connection.

Gateway is in private preview with select design partners. Enter your work email to get early access.

Your email is all you need to join the list. After joining, you can optionally share your name, company, and the systems you connect to. We’ll be in touch about early access.

Built for both sides of the connection.

For builders

One fast, typed interface across languages and systems, without rebuilding connectivity for every new database or engine.

For platform teams

One place to understand who is connecting, where requests go, how they perform, and where cost or risk is accumulating.

Collapse connection sprawl.

Every new application, agent, database, and cloud adds another driver, credential, configuration, and set of logs. Gateway brings those paths together behind one vendor-neutral access layer, replacing a tangle of direct integrations with a common surface.

Change the database, not the application.

When connectivity lives outside any one vendor’s perimeter, teams can use the right engine for each workload without rebuilding everything above it. Add a database, not another connectivity stack.

Built on an open foundation.

Gateway builds on Apache Arrow, ADBC, and a growing ecosystem of drivers. Columnar advances that open foundation and builds the tools that make it practical across languages, systems, and clouds.
