About
Built by people who've been inside the databases.
Wirekite is the work of two engineers who spent careers in database kernels, fleets, and migrations — and got tired of watching teams wait days for data to move.
Greg Kemnitz
Co-founder · CTO
35 years in database kernels, architecture, and operations. Long-time Postgres contributor with deep experience in storage engines, replication, and the unglamorous parts of making databases fast at scale.
Tarun Sandhu
Co-founder · CEO
20 years in database platform engineering, formerly at Google. Built and ran large database fleets in production; understands what breaks, why it breaks, and what customers actually need from a migration tool.
Working together for over 10 years.
Why we built Wirekite.
Cloud data warehouses got fast. Query engines got fast. The databases that feed them did not. The pipes between OLTP and analytics are still hand-rolled scripts, batch refreshes, and quarter-long migration projects.
We've been on every side of this. We've owned the Postgres fleet when the migration tool quietly stalled. We've sat in the migration war room watching a vendor's loader run at 10K rows per second when the database could sustain 300K. We've written one-off CDC implementations because the off-the-shelf options were too slow.
Wirekite is what we wished existed. A single product, built ground-up for speed, that moves data between every database that matters at the wire speed of the underlying hardware.
