Introducing Training Pipes: Accelerate Your Data Pipelines with Cloud Storage at Local Speeds

We're thrilled to announce the launch of Training Pipes, a revolutionary infrastructure platform designed to transform how data teams build and scale their ML workflows. After months of development and testing with early adopters, we're ready to help teams everywhere accelerate their data pipelines.

The Problem We're Solving

Data engineers and ML practitioners face a common challenge: accessing large datasets stored in cloud storage (AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Cloudflare R2) is slow. Traditional approaches require downloading entire datasets, which wastes time and resources. Remote data access through APIs introduces latency that can bring training pipelines to a crawl.

We built Training Pipes because we experienced this pain ourselves. While working at leading tech companies, our founding team—Thomas, Ben, and Natalie—were frustrated by the complexity of managing training data pipelines. We knew there had to be a better way.

What is Training Pipes?

Training Pipes provides seamless infrastructure that lets you access your cloud storage as if it were a local filesystem. By creating intelligent mounts using SMB and NFS protocols, we eliminate the friction between your data and your applications.

Think of it as a bridge between your cloud storage and your local environment—one that's optimized for the unique demands of ML training workflows.

Key Features

Multi-Cloud Support

Connect to any major cloud storage provider:

• AWS S3 - Industry-leading object storage
• Google Cloud Storage (GCS) - Scalable, unified object storage
• Cloudflare R2 - Zero egress fees

Flexible Mount Protocols

Access your data using the protocol that works best for your environment:

• SMB mounts - Perfect for Windows and Mac systems
• NFS mounts - Ideal for Linux servers and production environments

Intelligent Caching

Our infrastructure intelligently caches frequently accessed files, dramatically improving read speeds for iterative training workflows.

Team Collaboration

Invite team members, manage permissions, and organize projects—all from a single, intuitive dashboard. No more sharing credentials or managing complex IAM policies.

Usage Monitoring

Track your data transfer, monitor performance, and stay within your plan limits with real-time usage dashboards.
