On the Upsolver LinkedIn Profile, it states:

We help data developers move data from prod environments to analytics and other downstream use cases at scale and with quality oversight. From structured transactional databases to semi-structured interaction event streams, ingest prod data to warehouses and lakes to unlock value. Data generated by your product applications and services is your biggest lever to delivering differentiated product and user experiences. Upsolver helps you extend your business moat by unlocking the full value of your moat data. Because data that’s uniquely yours provides the best looking glass into how your users benefit from your products and services—and what’s lacking.

Our story

Upsolver is a closely-knit group of data and infrastructure engineers who want to remove the engineering intensive bottleneck for data ingestion in today’s data stack. We built the first version of Upsolver for our own use, and quickly realized the value it would bring to others in today’s data-centric world. While every company has software that helps power the business deployed in production, many either don’t have access to the data these systems generate or are forced to write complex scripts gluing together multiple tools to achieve the simple purpose of ingesting the valuable data into the warehouse or lake. Our thesis was right—today, we claim as our customers companies large and small, spanning industries as diverse as oil & gas to gaming, feeding both operational analytics and customer-facing data products.
