What is a Data Delivery?

Data delivery is the secure, customizable, and destination-agnostic process of transferring data to end users through user-friendly, transparent infrastructure that controls access, formats, and cross-cloud distribution while optimizing for cost and operational efficiency.

Data delivery is the secure, customizable, and destination-agnostic process of transferring data products to end users across cloud platforms, formats, and protocols. It involves not only the movement of data, but also the orchestration of access controls, formatting, scheduling, and compliance requirements, all tailored to the specific needs of each customer. For data providers, this process must be seamless and user-friendly, empowering even non-technical teams to manage deliveries while maintaining strict security standards and full auditability. The ability to configure delivery workflows without engineering bottlenecks is critical to scaling a data business.

Modern data delivery infrastructure also plays a key role in cost management and buyer trust. With transparent tracking of egress and compute costs, providers can price their products more intelligently and avoid margin erosion. Support for multiple destinations, whether it’s S3, Snowflake, BigQuery, Azure, or APIs, ensures buyers receive data in their preferred environment, without added complexity for the provider. Ultimately, reliable and flexible data delivery is the foundation that enables data commerce to thrive, turning what was once a backend bottleneck into a strategic advantage.
