Implement ML-based features faster and with ease

A unified platform that brings ML functions directly into SQL, queries data where it lives, and accelerates your analytics with GPU computing.

query.sql
SELECT campaign_name, budget, impressions, clicks, conversions, revenue
FROM postgres.campaigns
JOIN s3.impressions ON campaigns.id = impressions.campaign_id
JOIN clickhouse.metrics ON impressions.id = metrics.impression_id
WHERE ad_quality_score(impressions, clicks, conversions) > 0.7 -- ml in sql
  AND fraud_score(clicks, conversions) < 0.3
  AND predict_roi(budget, revenue) > 1.2
ORDER BY revenue DESC;

Simplify or completely replace your data pipelines with federated queries.

Batch Analytics

Transform delayed analytics into real-time insights without infrastructure changes.

Step-by-Step ML Implementation

ML-in-SQL approach eliminates the gap between data and models.

Multiple Data Formats

Native support for Parquet, CSV, JSON, Arrow, ORC and other formats.

What is Otterstax

Three powerful concepts unified in one platform

01

Metadata-Aware Data Fabric

All your data is accessible in real time without centralized storage. Query data where it lives.

02

Intelligent Data Mesh

Domain teams can deliver data as a product with ease, maintaining ownership and autonomy.

03

Fast ML Implementation

ML models fed with real-time data provide accurate insights through SQL-native interfaces.

How Otterstax Works

ML Functions in SQL

Wrap ML functions into SQL to let them work with data directly - no typical ML infrastructure needed.

Query Data In Place

Query all organizational data where it is located. Only deltas are moved, not entire datasets.

GPU for AI/ML Workloads

Accelerate complex analytics with GPU computing for demanding AI/ML workloads.

Case Study #1

A/B Testing Analytics

How an online marketplace achieved real-time insights and saved $50K per hour

Scenario

A large online marketplace used Otterstax to accelerate A/B testing analytics. Previously, data was updated with up to 3-hour delays due to complex ETL pipelines, which slowed down decision-making for marketing teams.

Project Overview

Marketplace platform with a large number of A/B experiments, proprietary infrastructure, and multiple Redis clusters.

The Problem

ETL scripts updated data once every 3 hours → no real-time insights available for the teams that needed them most.

Key Takeaway

Proactive real-time monitoring not only accelerates decision-making but also directly saves money.
Case Study #2

Fraud Detection

How a trading company reduced fraud by 36.8% and saved $64K daily

Scenario

A trading company implemented Otterstax to accelerate anti-fraud analytics. Previously, the system detected suspicious operations with up to 2-hour delays, preventing timely responses. After implementing Otterstax, detection became real-time, leading to a significant reduction in fraud.

Project Overview

A company with requirements for ultra-fast fraud detection operations.

The Problem

The existing fraud detection mechanism informed about suspicious activities with a delay of approximately 2 hours - far too slow for effective prevention.

Solution

Otterstax was implemented as a preventive data analysis layer, providing:

  • Real-time processing
  • Reduced infrastructure complexity
  • Replacement of some external analytical solutions

Architecture Transformation

ML Integration

  • ML functions embedded directly in SQL
  • Eliminating ETL reduces latency and operational risks
  • Columnar storage and GPU support enable vectorized ML in real-time

Key Takeaway

Otterstax is a platform for financial organizations that require speed, accuracy, and real-time analytics across data sources.
Case Study #3

Infrastructure Optimization

How a payment company saved $200K monthly and accelerated ML deployment by 30-50%

Scenario

A payment company with strict latency requirements needed to optimize their infrastructure costs while maintaining less than 2-second response times for all internal operations.

Project Overview

A fintech platform with high timing requirements: all internal operations must complete within 2 seconds maximum.

The Problem

  • Existing PHP and Golang architecture was inefficient
  • Large number of Kafka instances required to handle the load, driving up infrastructure costs
  • Any changes to Kafka affected multiple teams and departments, complicating system maintenance

Architecture Transformation

Before

Large Kafka PHP / Go Large MySQL

After

Smaller Kafka PHP / Go Otterstax Smaller MySQL

Results

Key Takeaway

Otterstax enables fintech companies to reduce infrastructure costs while maintaining strict latency requirements — and as a bonus, the anti-fraud team now deploys ML functions 30-50% faster.
Case Study #4

Retail Scaling

How an e-commerce platform saved $850K monthly and increased clients by 36.4%

Scenario

An e-commerce platform whose scalability was limited due to accumulated technical debt needed to achieve aggressive business growth targets.

Project Overview

E-commerce platform with scalability constraints caused by a legacy monolithic backend application that was poorly suited for scaling.

The Problem

  • Business growth targets remained unachievable
  • Inherited a monolithic backend application as an obstacle for scaling
  • Only vertical scalability was possible before Otterstax

Architecture Transformation

Before

Monolithic Backend Single DB

Vertical scaling only

After

Microservices Otterstax Distributed DBs

Horizontal scaling enabled

Solution

Otterstax implementation enabled:

  • Migration to microservices architecture
  • 50% increase in database operations scalability
  • Horizontal scaling capabilities

Results

$850,000
Savings per month
+36.4%
New Clients per day
2x faster
Developer onboarding
60%
DBA issues eliminated

Key Takeaway

Otterstax enabled horizontal scaling for an e-commerce platform that was previously limited to vertical scaling only — plus opened the door to building ML-based recommendation systems.
