In 2006, a revolutionary data solution emerged from France: Talend Studio. Over the years, it has become the worldwide industry standard in Data Transformation, Big Data, Application Integration, and API low-code design. Fast forward to 2023/2024, and Talend Studio proudly serves over 10,000 unique users worldwide.

Now, as we celebrate Talend Studio's 18th birthday—a significant milestone marking the age of majority in many countries—we're thrilled to unveil a major upgrade: a brand-new, modernized User Experience (UX)!
