Astronomer Raises $213 Million Series C and Acquires Datakin; Scales Operations Amid Booming Growth and Global Demand

The funding primed Astronomer to acquire Datakin, the data operations tool from the founders of the OpenLineage and Marquez open-source projects. Astronomer will also use the capital to grow its world-class Engineering and Customer Success teams, accelerate the growth of its Apache Airflow-powered data orchestration platform and scale its go-to-market operations. By integrating Datakins intuitive data lineage features with Astronomer, our customers are able to build faster, run with confidence and reduce their operational risks. Apache Airflow, driven by the Astronomer team, has become the generational platform for modern orchestration," said George Mathew, Managing Director at Insight Partners. Through its acquisition of Datakin, Astronomer will enable data teams to unlock operational lineage as a native component of their orchestration platform.
