Choose your setup
Decide whether ReportPlane-managed storage or a customer-owned warehouse fits your project.
Every accepted record needs a destination. Your project can use ReportPlane-managed storage when the plan supports it, or connect a supported warehouse that you own.
Managed warehouse
A managed warehouse reduces setup work. ReportPlane operates the storage connection and applies managed ingest and query quotas from your plan.
Choose it when:
- you want the shortest path to production;
- you do not need to operate warehouse credentials;
- your data residency and governance requirements allow managed storage;
- your expected usage fits the plan.
The exact capacity and quota depend on the workspace subscription. Check Usage & Cost and Workspace limits in the console.
Customer-owned warehouse
A customer-owned warehouse keeps storage and underlying compute in your cloud or data platform account. ReportPlane uses a credential you provide to deliver and query data.
Supported adapters include BigQuery, ClickHouse, Snowflake, and Elasticsearch/OpenSearch. The connection fields and supported structured types vary by adapter.
Choose it when:
- data must remain in your account;
- your team already operates a supported warehouse;
- you need direct warehouse access for additional workloads;
- your governance process requires ownership of storage and retention.
What remains the same
The control-plane workflow does not change. You still create models, ingest clients, Analytics APIs, and query clients. ReportPlane still validates access and builds a warehouse-neutral analytics plan.
Before connecting a customer warehouse
Prepare:
- a supported warehouse or cluster;
- a database, dataset, index, or equivalent destination location;
- a least-privilege service credential;
- network access from ReportPlane where required;
- any location or region setting requested by the adapter.
