What is Turbine?
Turbine (beta) is a data application framework that lets you quickly sync, persist, and transform data between data infrastructure. With Turbine, it’s easy to build real-time, event-driven products and services without having to rely on your database or infrastructure team.
How it works
Meroxa enables teams to build and deploy data products by leveraging a developer’s everyday workflow.
Step 1
Build
Write code, get app. As a developer-centric data application framework, Turbine enables you to build real-time, event-driven applications, products, and services. There’s no need to mess around with brittle data infrastructure.
Step 2
Test
Leverage the power of code-first. Writing code against data infrastructure is notoriously difficult. What you write on your local machine may not actually happen in production. With Turbine’s regular code, what you expect to happen with your unit tests on your local machine is what will happen in staging and production.

The point of any software application is to create data, consume data, and present data in some way. But data applications are a specific class of software applications that focus on:
- Reacting to data changes as they happen
- Providing discrete functionality across production data systems
- Serving data back to where it’s needed for your customers and infrastructure
What's the difference?
Web app
A web app listens and responds to a user performing tasks through a UI or API.
These types of applications enable you to create web-based solutions to solve customer problems.
For example:
- Financial applications
- Social media applications
- Games
- Productivity Apps
vs
Data app
A data app listens and responds to data infrastructure changes.
These types of applications allow you to create data-focused solutions to solve customer problems.
For example:
- Real-time caching
- Real-time search engine
- Real-time alerting
Why software engineers love Meroxa
Our developer-centric, code-first tooling lets software engineers maximize their time spent building data products as opposed to maintaining fragile data systems that weren’t designed for developers.
Build applications faster + autonomously with Turbine (beta)
Build and test applications using real-time events without leaning on your database or infrastructure team. Plus, our code-first platform adapts to your workflow—not the other way around—so you can use the tools you already know and love.
Easily manage hundreds of integrations
Our innovative platform automatically creates a shared data stream catalog and embeds it into your workflows so you can search, find, and reuse data streams effortlessly.
Automatically connect, configure, and orchestrate data integrations
Don’t stress over data orchestration: our platform has over a dozen pre-configured integrations for databases, cloud, SaaS apps, and streaming services…and we’re adding more on a regular basis.
Scale dynamically with serverless architecture
Build reusable and scalable components with standardized processes, allowing you to work efficiently while maximizing available resources.
Use cases
Data replication
Stream data from one location to another—apart from your data infrastructure—when you want to scale for redundancy, availability, auditing, or security.
Data integration
Copy data to another place for a specific function, like third-party tooling, data visualization, or data analytics.
Streaming analytics
Turn real-time streaming data into insights that guide actionable decisions related to business strategy, product development, marketing campaigns, and more.
Take the headache out of data orchestration
With Turbine, it’s easy to send data from any source to any destination in real-time. Our integrations are pre-configured, which means zero heavy lifting to pipe and configure data across databases, cloud, SaaS apps, streaming services, and more.
