OPEN FORMATS & PARTITIONING

Land Azure Blob Storage data in open formats, partitioned for query

Every flow run writes governed data to Azure Blob Storage as an open file - columnar Parquet for analytics, or row-based CSV, JSON, and JSONL for interchange - laid out in date-based partitions so engines like Athena, Trino, BigQuery, and Spark read it as a clean dataset and scan only what they need.

Parquet, CSV, JSON, and JSONL

Write to Azure Blob Storage in the format your engine expects - compact, columnar Parquet for fast analytics on Athena, Trino, Spark, and BigQuery, plus row-based CSV, JSON, and JSONL for interchange any tool can read.

400+ managed connectors

Marketing, sales, finance, product, and ad platforms - plus databases and flat files - all maintained for you and ready to land in Azure Blob Storage out of the box.

Date-partitioned datasets

Each run lands as its own dated file, so Azure Blob Storage is organized as a partitioned dataset and query engines prune to just the files they need.

Snapshot or latest-state

Keep every run as a dated snapshot, or keep only the latest file - the file-naming strategy is your state management, chosen per flow.

Load the full history

Backfill historical date ranges into Azure Blob Storage on demand - seed a new lake with everything you have, or reload a range to fill a gap.

Clean, governed data

Blend and reshape sources, then let the Data Quality Firewall stop bad records and PII detection mask sensitive fields before anything lands in Azure Blob Storage.

WITH VS. WITHOUT

Who carries the load when things change upstream

Keep the same sources flowing into Azure Blob Storage - and see who owns it when an API, schema, or endpoint changes:

Without Dataddo With Dataddo Outcome for you
API or auth change You discover the breakage and scramble to fix it. We update the connector and restore the pipeline - often before you notice. Files keep landing in Azure Blob Storage
Schema drift Columns change and pipelines break or corrupt data silently. Detected automatically and handled by configurable rules. Only clean data lands in Azure Blob Storage
Endpoint deprecated You re-engineer the integration. We own the update - the data contract holds. Your Azure Blob Storage loads keep working
Missing connector You build and maintain a custom integration. We build it and maintain it, under a ~4-week SLA. Any source can reach Azure Blob Storage
Silent degradation You find out when a report or model run fails. Proactive monitoring catches anomalies and delays first. Issues caught before your lake reads bad files
Debugging You dig through logs across disconnected tools. Run histories, payload inspection, and end-to-end lineage in one place. Faster root-cause, less downtime

FAQ

Azure Blob Storage + Dataddo, answered

What file formats can Dataddo write to Azure Blob Storage?

Parquet, CSV, JSON, and JSONL. Each flow run writes a file in the format you pick, with format-level controls - CSV delimiter, header, and date format, or the timestamp unit for Parquet, JSON, and JSONL.

How does partitioning work?

Each flow run lands as its own dated file, so Azure Blob Storage is organized as a date-partitioned dataset. Query engines then read only the partitions they need instead of scanning everything, which keeps queries fast and costs predictable.

How does Dataddo write to Azure Blob Storage?

Dataddo writes files to your Azure Blob container and path on the schedule you set. Date-partitioned naming keeps the data organized so Synapse serverless SQL, Microsoft Fabric, and Spark can query it directly.

Can Dataddo append or replace files?

Yes. Insert keeps writing new files, and create-new-or-replace overwrites the file at the same name. For lakehouse table formats like Apache Iceberg, Dataddo applies warehouse-style write modes to the table itself.

How is my data secured?

Dataddo is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, PII can be masked or hashed, and EU or US data residency is available. You connect Azure Blob Storage with your own keys or an assumed role.

Will this run up my storage bill?

Incremental loads write only new or changed data, and columnar Parquet compresses well - so you store and scan less. You control the schedule and the partition layout, which keeps storage and query costs predictable.

Am I locked in?

No. Data lands in open file formats in a bucket you own, and pipelines are storage-agnostic - you can add or switch object stores, or point the same sources at a warehouse, without rebuilding anything.
