Overview

Data integration connects external data sources, such as data warehouses, data lakes, or other systems, to Aloudata CAN so the data can be used for data modeling and metric development.

Aloudata CAN supports multiple integration methods, including internal table import, external data source connection, and local file upload. You can choose the method that best fits your business and performance requirements.

1. Import internal tables

Synchronize external data into the metric platform. This is typically used when query performance requirements are high or when the source system does not support external table connections.

1. Connect external data sources

Connect a data source to the metric platform through external tables without physically moving the data. Aloudata CAN supports StarRocks and Doris as compute engines. The supported data source types vary by engine. See Connect External Data Sources for details.

1. Upload local files

Upload local files and import them into the metric platform.
