Data Engineering

The data foundation Japan's AI supercycle runs on

// The Japan delivery problem

AI runs on fresh data. Japan generates it at a scale few markets match, if you can deliver here

Japan's biggest data users are under real pressure. A megabank clears tens of millions of transactions a day, a telecom carrier handles billions of events across its network, and a single factory floor produces terabytes of sensor readings. That data used to feed reports. Now it feeds AI too, and an AI answer is only as good as how current its data is. So instead of copying everything into a new system, the data teams here keep their core databases running and feed AI from them directly, in real time.

Selling data infrastructure into Japan takes more than a good product. Buyers expect it to run in their own data center or private cloud, with documentation in Japanese, a trial on their real production data, and a design review with their own engineers. Meet those expectations and you win the deal. Fall short and a local competitor takes it, even when your technology is the better one.

StrategyCore represents the data platforms Japanese companies are choosing for their AI work: distributed SQL, change-data-capture streaming, and embedded analytics. Each one runs on hardware the customer controls, so data never has to move to a foreign cloud to be useful to AI. We handle the sales in Japanese, the on-premise support, and the migration, with no downtime for the customer. The product, the brand, and the roadmap stay yours. We are your team on the ground.

// How we deliver in Japan

How we deliver data infrastructure in Japan

01 /

Architecture Assessment

We work with the customer in Japanese to evaluate their existing data pipeline and find the bottlenecks: ETL lag, data silos, reconciliation overhead. Then we map the end state architecture for their specific workload, so the PoC reflects real production requirements rather than a demo scenario.

02 /

PoC Design and Execution

Design the proof of concept against the customer's actual workload. Run it in their environment (cloud, hybrid, or on premise) with Japanese speaking engineers embedded alongside their data team.

03 /

Zero Downtime Migration

Migrate from legacy systems with zero downtime using change data capture. We handle the operational complexity of running old and new systems in parallel until cutover is complete, all in Japanese.

04 /

Optimization and Scaling

Post-deployment tuning, query optimization, and capacity planning. We give the customer's operations team Japanese-language support, with direct escalation into your global engineering organization.

// Capabilities

Core capabilities

Unified OLTP and OLAP Database

Transactional and analytical workloads on a single distributed SQL engine. That removes ETL lag, brings infrastructure cost down, and lets you query live data in real time.

Change Data Capture (CDC)

Nonintrusive replication from enterprise databases to cloud, analytics platforms, and AI pipelines, at subsecond latency and with no impact on the source system.

Embedded Analytics

White-label dashboards and data visualization built directly into SaaS applications, with low-code development tools and 50+ data connectors.

Streaming SQL Transformations

In-flight transformation, enrichment, and filtering of data streams, so real-time pipelines replace batch ETL.

Zero Downtime Database Migration

Migrate from legacy databases such as Oracle, DB2, and SQL Server to modern cloud platforms, with continuous replication and automatic schema evolution.

// Market Trend

Real Time Data Infrastructure Is Now Table Stakes

Streaming-first architectures are replacing batch processing across financial services, telco, and e-commerce. Change data capture, real-time analytics, and unified OLTP/OLAP platforms are the new baseline. Japanese enterprises are spending heavily to take the lag out of ETL.

// Sovereign in Japan

Run the data layer on infrastructure your buyers control.

SingleStore and Striim run on-premise or in a local private cloud, so the data and its pipelines never leave the country.

See the sovereignty approach
01/

On-premise or a locally operated private cloud, so data residency is settled before procurement asks.

02/

SingleStore Flow moves change data into the engine without routing it through a foreign cloud.

03/

The same product and the same performance, on hardware the customer's own team can audit.
