What is Expanso and how does it work?

Expanso is a managed platform for deploying intelligent data pipelines at the edge. It processes data where it's generated - reducing bandwidth, latency, and costs. You deploy lightweight agents on your infrastructure, build pipelines using our visual builder or YAML, and control everything from a central SaaS platform.

Can I run AI/ML models directly in my data pipelines?

Yes! Expanso supports running ONNX, TensorFlow Lite, and other models as native pipeline steps. Execute low-latency inference on streaming data, enrich events with model outputs (like risk scores), and make decisions at the edge without cloud round-trips.

How many pre-built components are available?

Expanso provides 200+ pre-built components including inputs (Kafka, HTTP, files), processors (transformations, filtering, PII masking, aggregations), and outputs (S3, Snowflake, Datadog, Splunk). Browse the complete catalog in our Component Reference.

Do I need to write code to build pipelines?

No - use our drag-and-drop visual pipeline builder to create sophisticated pipelines without code. For advanced use cases, you can also write pipelines in YAML or use the Bloblang transformation language for complex data mappings.

How does Expanso help with data governance and compliance?

Expanso includes built-in governance features: automatic PII detection and masking, policy enforcement at the edge, RBAC, SSO integration, and comprehensive audit trails. Mask sensitive data before it ever leaves your network.

deleted_jobs_retentioninteger<int64>

DeletedJobsRetention is how long to keep soft-deleted jobs before permanent deletion. Default: 7 days. Increase for longer audit history.

Possible values: [-9223372036854776000, 9223372036854776000, 1, 1000, 1000000, 1000000000, 60000000000, 3600000000000]

lost_nodes_retentioninteger<int64>

LostNodesRetention is how long to keep lost node records after they're marked as lost. Default: 7 days. Measured from when the node transitions to Lost state. Independent of node_manager.lost_timeout.

Possible values: [-9223372036854776000, 9223372036854776000, 1, 1000, 1000000, 1000000000, 60000000000, 3600000000000]

terminal_evaluations_retentioninteger<int64>

TerminalEvaluationsRetention is how long to keep terminal evaluation records (complete/failed/cancelled). Default: 1 day. Evaluations are short-lived scheduling decisions.

Possible values: [-9223372036854776000, 9223372036854776000, 1, 1000, 1000000, 1000000000, 60000000000, 3600000000000]

terminal_executions_retentioninteger<int64>

TerminalExecutionsRetention is how long to keep terminal execution records (complete/failed/stopped). Default: 7 days. Increase for longer execution history.

Possible values: [-9223372036854776000, 9223372036854776000, 1, 1000, 1000000, 1000000000, 60000000000, 3600000000000]
