Data as a Service (DaaS)

Data as a Service (DaaS) is a delivery model where structured data is exposed via API or query layer rather than as a one-time dump or a database the consumer hosts. Teams pay for query access and freshness rather than for raw storage.

Definition

Data as a Service (DaaS) is a delivery model where structured data is exposed via API or query layer rather than as a one-time dump or a database the consumer hosts. Teams pay for query access and freshness rather than for raw storage.

In Depth

DaaS sits between traditional ETL and full data marketplaces. The provider manages ingestion, cleaning, normalization, and freshness; the consumer just queries when they need a record. The model fits AI agents particularly well because the agent can call the DaaS endpoint mid-loop without a pre-built ETL pipeline. Real-time SERP, public business records, and product catalogs are common DaaS surfaces in 2026. The challenge with DaaS is JS-heavy or behind-auth targets, where rendering cost makes per-query pricing unattractive — those workloads still belong in dedicated scraping pipelines.

Example Usage

Real-World Example
