Nexsets are auto-generated by a process of continuous intelligence that analyzes data at a record level. The resulting data characteristics and meta data help provide a logical view that abstracts the underlying heterogeneity of data. The result is a consistent interface to data regardless of source, format, and velocity.

Nexsets are not a copy of data but a way to look at data organized by schema. Continuous intelligence means Nexsets don’t just have a point in time view of schema. Instead schema is continuously evolving and automatically versioned in Nexla.

Nexsets provide the foundation – the common denominator – that exposes a consistent interface for different stake holders to work with data and collaborate on it. This means the same Nexset or its derivative can be used by teams for Data Science, Business Operations, Data Engineering, Data Governance and others.

Nexsets are shareable. This means much a Google Doc multiple users and stake holders can now collaborate on data. Sharing is allowed not just within a team but also across organizations, making Data Sharing a snap. Learn more about Data Sharing and Exchange in this ebook.

Nexsets abstract data from its source format, whether source data was CSV, JSON, XML, Parquet, a document, or an image attached to an email. This means users can now integrate, prepare, engineer, and serve the data regardless of its source format. Converting data from one format to another, or combining heterogenous data from various sources is now a snap for any user.

Nexsets are auto-generated from source when credentials are provided. Nexla’s no-code UI and low-code Python and Javascript code snippets make it easy to transform, filter, and join Nexsets to create new Nexsets.

 Nexset + Operations(Transform, Filter, Join, etc.) = New Nexset 

This is a very powerful construct in Nexla as every Nexset provides the same powerful interface to data with validations, error management, sharing, etc.

Point Nexsets to an API, a Database, a Data Warehouse, a Stream, or a File-store and automatically get no-code integrations with format conversion, scheduling, data validation, and complete Data Operations. Go power-user mode if you like or at any point invite an engineer to use Nexla APIs or Nexla CLI (command-line-interface) to export, import, migrate, replicate these pipelines with full flexibility.
