About Etlworks

One product. Any pipeline, any direction.

Etlworks is the most capable data movement platform on the market: ETL, ELT, real-time change data capture, reverse ETL, files, EDI, message queues, IoT, and APIs, with an AI agent that builds and runs pipelines alongside your team. Run it in our cloud, on your own servers, or both at once. We’ve been at this since 2016, and the people who wrote the first version still run the company.

Our story

Where Etlworks came from.

Before Etlworks

A three-time founder, Maksym spent decades building enterprise software for companies of every size and shape. Along the way he wrote an open-source ETL framework that teams at Marketo, the Bank of New Zealand, Transform Digital and plenty of other companies took into production.

That framework became the foundation of a successful consulting business.

Etlworks

The consulting turned into a product when Artem joined in 2016. Together they took the engine Maksym had already written and moved it to the cloud. Six months to an MVP. The first paying customers were not far behind.

Hundreds of customers later they are still independent, highly profitable, and still working on the best data integration product on the market.

Leadership

Built and run by engineers.

Three people who have spent their careers in data infrastructure, and a team of engineers behind them.

Maksym Sherbinin

Maksym Sherbinin

Founder & CEO

Wrote the first version of Etlworks and still writes the hard parts of the engine. Decades before that helping companies of every size get their data where it needed to go, which is where the idea came from.

Artem Avdonin

Co-founder & CTO

Co-architected the cloud platform in 2016 and has been CTO ever since. Runs engineering across the engine, the agent, and the application, and the teams building each.

Scope

What Etlworks is, and what it isn’t.

Worth knowing before you spend a week evaluating.

What it is

One product, not a suite

Every pattern runs on the same engine, using the same connections, the same permissions and the same audit trail. Nothing to integrate with itself.

The same build everywhere

Our cloud, your own servers, or a fully air-gapped install with no outbound connectivity. On-premise runs the same architecture as Cloud Enterprise, in the same five instance sizes.

An agent with real tools

It reaches flows, code, the CLI, metadata and monitoring, and you can work with it in the product, over the REST API, or from your own editor through MCP.

Priced per tier

Not per row and not per seat. Unlimited users, connections and flows on every plan, and no overage charges. Plans differ on capacity, so read the tiers before you pick one.

What it isn’t

Not the cheapest

If price is the only thing being compared, you will find smaller numbers. We are priced for teams that want the whole problem handled.

Not a BI or analytics tool

We move data and transform it on the way. Charts, dashboards and the semantic layer belong to whatever you already use for that.

Not a replacement for your data engineers

The agent makes a small team move a lot faster. It does not make the team unnecessary, and we have never pitched it that way.

Not somewhere your data lives

Records pass through and are gone. We keep the metadata needed for the audit trail and nothing else, which answers most of a security questionnaire on its own.

Whether you’re evaluating, comparing, or just curious, we’d rather have a real conversation than send you another marketing email.
