Welcome to DataHarbor

Build for the frontier. Your data — Governed at the speed of tomorrow. DataHarbor lets you publish governed, purpose-limited data products from a single source of truth, without duplicating data or rewriting APIs. The docs follow the practical path most teams take: connect a source, define the Virtual API, govern the data, then choose how to deliver the result.

​
The problem

Data was never meant to be reused this much. What used to be a single internal API is now expected to support external partners, analytics vendors, internal teams, and AI agents. The result:
  • Engineering clones APIs endlessly
  • Privacy and compliance risk increases with every fork
  • Legal blocks deals
  • AI makes exposure harder to reason about

​
The DataHarbor approach

One dataset. Many governed uses. Instead of copying or locking data away, DataHarbor sits in front of your existing data source and lets you create Virtual APIs — governed views of the same underlying data. Each Virtual API:
  • Is purpose-specific
  • Enforces privacy and compliance rules declaratively
  • Can be versioned, audited, expired, or revoked
  • Can be safely consumed by humans or machines
You reuse the data — not the risk.
