Dozer, an open-source data infrastructure platform that helps software engineers create application programming interfaces (API), announced that it has raised $3 million in a seed round of funding and also emerged from stealth (the platform has opened access to developers).
The funding round, led by Sequoia Capital India and Southeast Asia’s Surge, also saw participation from Gradient Ventures and January Capital, the statement said.
The freshly infused capital will help the Singapore-headquartered company scale its product and engineering teams, it said.
Dozer said it aims to simplify the process of creating APIs, which is currently very complex. Unlocking internal data sources for use by external customers continues to be a very tough process that requires streaming updates, scheduling, transformation, multiple document stores, caching, and so on.
To build for this, Dozer connects with databases such as Postgres and MySQL, data warehouses such as Snowflake, and even the Ethereum blockchain ledger. It allows engineers to aggregate data across multiple sources to obtain real-time insights and build features for customer personalization.
