Building an in-house analytics engine is a notorious resource drain that often fails to scale with modern data volumes. 

Instead of sinking months of dev time into maintenance and browser compatibility, product teams are increasingly turning to specialized embedded analytics tools. 

These platforms now leverage zero-copy compute and "headless" BI architectures to deliver high-performance querying directly on top of existing data lakes. This allows for a native user experience while keeping your core engineering team focused on product innovation. 

The table below breaks down the top embedded analytics platforms for 2026

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How do I integrate e6data with my existing data infrastructure?

We are universally interoperable and open-source friendly. We can integrate across any object store, table format, data catalog, governance tools, BI tools, and other data applications.

How does billing work?

We use a usage-based pricing model based on vCPU consumption. Your billing is determined by the number of vCPUs used, ensuring you only pay for the compute power you actually consume.

What kind of file formats does e6data support?

We support all types of file formats, like Parquet, ORC, JSON, CSV, AVRO, and others.

What kind of performance improvements can I expect with e6data?

e6data promises a 5 to 10 times faster querying speed across any concurrency at over 50% lower total cost of ownership across the workloads as compared to any compute engine in the market.

What kinds of deployment models are available at e6data ?

We support serverless and in-VPC deployment models. 

How does e6data handle data governance rules?

We can integrate with your existing governance tool, and also have an in-house offering for data governance, access control, and security.

FAQs

How does e6data reduce Snowflake compute costs without slowing queries?
e6data is powered by the industry’s only atomic architecture. Rather than scaling in step jumps (L x 1 -> L x 2), e6data scales atomically, by as little as 1 vCPU. In production with widely varying loads, this translates to > 60% TCO savings.
Do I have to move out of Snowflake?
No, we fit right into your existing data architecture across cloud, on-prem, catalog, governance, table formats, BI tools, and more.

Does e6data speed up Iceberg on Snowflake?
Yes, depending on your workload, you can see anywhere up to 10x faster speeds through our native and advanced Iceberg support. 

Snowflake supports Iceberg. But how do you get data there in real time?
Our real-time streaming ingest streams Kafka or SDK data straight into Iceberg—no Flink. Landing within 60 seconds and auto-registering each snapshot for instant querying.

How long does it take to deploy e6data alongside Snowflake?
Sign up the form and get your instance started. You can deploy it to any cloud, region, deployment model, without copying or migrating any data from Snowflake.
