Deployment Modes
Kumo can be deployed in two ways: SaaS and data warehouse native.
The SaaS deployment provides an Apache Spark-based data platform, expanded choice of supported data warehouses, earlier feature access, quicker bug fixes, and easier access to Kumo’s enterprise support tier.
The data warehouse native option allows you to bring your own data platform (Snowflake or Databricks) and access Kumo's highly accurate predictions—without raw data stored or materialized outside of your boundary. Data storage is always in your environment regardless of deployment option, and you can choose the deployment option that best aligns to their organizational data governance policies and preferences.
