Data as a Service

Data as a Service, also known as DaaS, is a cloud-based software tool that allows data to be accessed on demand.

STEP supports data publication with DaaS. Data is published from STEP via a single event processor to a Cosmos database on the DaaS service side using a generic STEP schema. On the service side, it is possible to define multiple services that draw upon the same data, but expose it to consumer systems in different ways via different GraphQL APIs.

Data can be published from different STEP contexts, allowing consumers to query specific context-dependent versions of the data. For information on configuring STEP to publish to the Stibo Systems' Data as a Service (DaaS) service, refer to the Publishing to Data as a Service topic here.
