Choose your setup

Decide whether ReportPlane-managed storage or a customer-owned warehouse fits your project.

Last verified 2026-08-02

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:

  1. a supported warehouse or cluster;
  2. a database, dataset, index, or equivalent destination location;
  3. a least-privilege service credential;
  4. network access from ReportPlane where required;
  5. any location or region setting requested by the adapter.
