Data is only an asset when it flows reliably. Ashton Group designs and operates ETL pipelines that ingest, normalize, and serve live data at product scale, including some of the most demanding public data sources in existence.
Our production pipelines continuously integrate NOAA weather models, USGS stream gauges, USDA SNOTEL stations, NASA satellite fire detections, and live ADS-B aviation feeds, then cleaning, joining, and republishing them as fast, queryable products.
What we deliver
- End-to-end ETL pipeline design: scheduled ingestion, validation, transformation, and publishing
- Real-time and near-real-time feeds: hourly global model refreshes, minute-scale alert polling, live sensor networks
- Federal and open-data expertise: NOAA, NWS, USGS, USDA, NASA, OpenStreetMap, and Census-scale datasets
- Storage architecture across MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and geospatial tile stores, matched to access patterns rather than fashion
- Historical data assets: decade-deep station histories joined to live readings for trend and percentile analytics
- Geospatial data engineering: custom map tilesets regenerated daily with automated fallback and versioning
Proven in production
Our systems join more than 10,000 live USGS stream gauges, 900+ snowpack telemetry stations, and hourly NOAA global wave models into products used in the field every day, with daily automated tileset publishing and percent-of-normal analytics computed against decades of history.
