Embedded Peaka vs. CData

CData helps you connect data.
Embedded Peaka, on the other hand, enables a fully embedded experience, including a backend infrastructure, connectors, queries, caching, and UI.

Optimized for customer-facing analytics

CData offers a connector infrastructure to quickly move data from external sources to internal systems.

Embedded Peaka, in contrast, goes beyond simple data integration and turns data into a product you can embed in your platform.

	Peaka Embedded	CData
Deployment Mode	Purpose-built for embedding	Provides drivers for internal use
UI Component Support	Dialogs, query editor, autocomplete	None
Branding & Theming	Full white-labeling	None

Live queries without the infra headache

CData’s data access model relies on copying and moving data in order to unify it in a different location.

Embedded Peaka enables querying data without replication, eliminating the need for costly data warehouses.

	Peaka Embedded	CData
Data Access Model	Live querying (no replication)	Requires replication
Query Engine	Built-in (Trino-based)	No query engine
Caching & Rate Limit Handling	Rate limit-aware caching built-in	No caching or retry logic

Built-in OAuth and multitenancy to accelerate your roadmap

With CData, it is your responsibility to develop OAuth flows, introduce isolation for each tenant, and maintain connectors.

Embedded Peaka provides all of this out of the box, allowing your team to focus on adding new capabilities to your platform instead of building everything from scratch.

	Peaka Embedded	CData
OAuth & Credential Handling	Built-in, multitenant aware	Manual setup for each tenant
Multitenant Support	Native support	User-built isolation
Connector Lifecycle Management	Peaka-managed	To be handled by the user

Flexible, fast, and developer-friendly

CData’s conventional approach relies on drivers and legacy integration points, which are not a good fit for SaaS teams looking to offer in-product analytics.

Embedded Peaka combines backend connectivity with UI components and saves these teams weeks in engineering effort with a toolkit including
