Use Case

DataChain Runs
Where Your Data Lives

Buckets, VPC, and IAM stay unchanged. DataChain orchestrates compute over your data; it never moves it.

Trusted by startups and Fortune 500 companies

Your infrastructure. Your control

Keep raw data in your buckets, behind your VPC and existing IAM policies. DataChain orchestrates your infrastructure: define clusters, run chains, and get typed datasets back. Its context layer never ingests your files. Dataset DB holds typed records, schemas, and lineage. Compliance is built into deployment, without a separate workflow or warehouse to govern

Keep Data, Compute, and Control Together

Storage ownership

Keep files in your own storage

Raw files stay in S3, GCS, Azure, or on-prem storage. Compute reads them directly and writes typed results to Dataset DB—without staging, ingestion pipelines, or duplicate copies to govern.

Dataset DB stores file pointers, schemas, and derived columns. Each row references its source URI.
Access only what you need: stream a clip, decode a slice, or read a column.
Pay the egress costs of reading your files, without duplication.

Compute in your VPC

Bring compute to the data

Define CPU, GPU, and high-memory pools in code. Chains route to the right pool automatically and scale from one machine to 25 to 1000+ in your VPC.

Run on clusters you operate, under your existing infrastructure controls.
Use built-in async I/O and checkpoint recovery to resume after failure from the last successful stage.
Distribute work through the same chain primitive, without a separate framework.

Flexible deployment

Across clouds, regions, and on-prem

Link storage, compute, and results across clouds through one Dataset DB. Collaborate across universities, hospitals, and regulated organizations while retaining control of data residency.

Keep storage in your region and run compute in any region you control.
Use Studio as the control plane only. Your data plane stays yours.
Audit what ran, where, by whom, and on which version in Dataset DB.
