|---|
Acme is an open-source data pipeline platform that makes it easy to build, test, and deploy data workflows. Connect any source, transform your data, and deliver it anywhere — all with simple configuration files.
[!note] New to Acme? Start with the [[Getting Started/Quickstart|Quickstart Guide]] to build your first pipeline in under 5 minutes.
No prior experience with data pipeline tools is required, but you'll get the most out of Acme if you're comfortable with:
- Command line — installing packages, running commands
- YAML — Acme pipelines are defined in YAML config files
- Python basics — needed for writing [[Guides/Writing Custom Transforms|custom transforms]] (optional)
- SQL or a database — helpful for the [[Guides/Connecting Databases|database guides]] (optional)
The docs are organized into five sections. Browse by topic or follow the recommended path below if you're just getting started.
