Manage your data products

When deploying our data developer tool, Conveyor, at clients, we learned there was a need for self-service management of data products themselves. Data developers could only start working on the data product once it was set up with the right permissions and access to data. We saw ourselves building the same logic over and over at clients, and we decided to turn it into a separate open source project that can be reused across implementations.

Currently 2 organisations are using the Data Product Portal as part of their data platform. One organisation is a large research institution based in Belgium and the other is a Pharma company based in Germany. Both organisations had the need to build data use cases at scale while remaining compliant with regulations.

No. While setting up data access is a key aspect of data products, we are not opinionated about how you implement that on a technical level. In the current release we have some simple integrations with AWS IAM, as that is what our current clients were looking for. But actually setting up data access can be done by any tool, for example Raito

No. We are are not a data access tool. We only provide a PBAC mechanism for data products to get access to data.

Conveyor is a data developer tool, guiding the data developer to go from experimentation, to implementation, deployment and monitoring of a data use case. Conveyor has no notion of a data product or a dataset. While the Data Product Portal is focused on Data Products and sees Conveyor as of the tools that can be used to do the development of data products.

Yes. For the simple reason that Conveyor customers can benefit from this. It accelerates our work. At the same time, this is a field of data that is still new and innovative, so clients often don’t want to commit to a single vendor yet or make huge investments in this area.

Honestly, we don’t have a clear plan yet. But there are a few options. We believe it can accelerate the adoption of our paid offering, Conveyor. We can also see a future where we offer a managed version of the Data Product Portal for teams who don’t want to run it themselves. And we would be happy to support companies or consultancies adopting Data Product Portal with any integration challenges they might face.
