FAQ

  • How does DataLark support data pipeline automation?
    DataLark enables you to build, automate, and monitor data workflows across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments. You can orchestrate data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL/ELT) using a no-code interface.
  • Are any specific technical skills required to use DataLark?
    No. DataLark is designed for both technical users and data-savvy business users. Its drag-and-drop visual interface allows non-developers to build powerful pipelines, while also offering advanced options like scripting and custom logic for developers.
  • What types of data sources and targets does DataLark support?
    DataLark supports a wide and growing library of connectors, including databases (PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, SAP HANA), cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift), cloud storages (like AWS S3), file-based sources (Excel, CSV, XML, JSON), enterprise platforms (SAP, Salesforce), APIs, SaaS tools (like HubSpot, Workday, ServiceNow), and more.
  • Is my data secure with DataLark?
    Yes. DataLark follows industry best practices for data security, including encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, and audit logging. For environments with stricter requirements, DataLark can also be installed in a modular setup, allowing separate deployment of the UI, application server, and internal databases.
  • How does DataLark ensure data quality in pipelines?
    DataLark integrates robust data quality controls directly into your pipelines. You can set up rules to automatically detect missing values, duplicates, and schema mismatches — before the data is delivered. Business users can configure rules visually, while technical teams can apply complex logic to meet governance standards. This ensures that only clean, consistent, and trusted data flows through your systems.
  • What kind of data transformations can DataLark perform?
    DataLark enables powerful data transformations as part of its automated pipelines. You can apply no-code and low-code transformations to cleanse, enrich, and reshape data before it reaches your target systems. Business rules can be configured visually, allowing users to define conditions, set transformation logic, and apply fallback actions — all without scripting. Transformations can be applied at any stage of the pipeline, ensuring your data is standardized and validated as it moves across systems.
  • Can I monitor pipeline health and receive alerts?
    Yes. DataLark provides visual run histories, audit logs, and alerting capabilities via email. You’ll be notified in real time about pipeline failures and anomalies and be able to address those in a timely manner.
  • What deployment options are available?
    DataLark offers flexible deployment options — on-premise (laptops, VDIs, Windows servers), in the cloud (SAP BTP, AWS, Microsoft Azure), or hybrid — to meet your organization’s technical and security requirements.
