Because sharing is caring

5 core Data Collection Patterns

At AgileData, delivering our Fractional Data Service has revealed the diverse challenges of integrating data from varied organisations, industries, and systems. To scale effectively, we’ve adopted five core data collection patterns based on our “Define it Once, Reuse it Often” (DORO) principle:

1. Push
2. Pull
3. Stream
4. Share
5. File Drop

These patterns are supported by a toolkit of tested technologies like Dataddo, Meltano, and Google services, allowing us to solve new data challenges quickly. Our approach ensures flexibility and scalability, always starting with the question: Push, Pull, Stream, Share, or File Drop?
