About Quilt

We make biology data AI-ready

Quilt Data builds the scientific data management platform that turns scattered files on AWS into versioned, searchable, trustworthy assets — so scientists can focus on discoveries, not data wrangling.

Why AI-ready biology data matters

Scientific data is often scattered across systems, with metadata trapped in spreadsheets and results buried in presentations. Your AI is only as good as your data — and data that can't be found, versioned, or trusted can't power discovery.

Quilt solves this by packaging raw data, results, and metadata into secure, version-controlled Quilt Packages: a single, reusable unit that can be searched, shared, and trusted across wet labs, dry labs, and AI workflows. Your data should be treated as an asset, not just as a resource.

Everything runs in your own AWS account, on the S3 buckets you already own. You keep control of the data, the security policies, and the costs.

What we believe

Your data stays yours

Quilt deploys into your AWS account. Data never leaves your VPC, your security policies apply, and there is no vendor lock-in.

Open by default

Quilt's core is open source and always will be. Transparency builds the trust that science — and scientists — depend on.

Built for science

Versioning, lineage, and metadata aren't features bolted onto a generic platform. They are the foundation reproducible research requires.

An AWS Advanced Technology Partner

Quilt Data is an AWS Advanced Technology Partner. Quilt brings seamless collaboration to Amazon S3 by connecting people, pipelines, and machines using visual, verifiable, versioned data packages. Quilt is available through AWS Marketplace, with private offers and a deployment template typically delivered within 24 hours.

Open-source heritage

Quilt began as an open-source project, and the open-source core remains free to use and actively developed on GitHub. Versioned data packages, the Quilt catalog, and the quilt3 Python SDK are all open — because infrastructure for science should be inspectable by scientists.
