As enterprises accelerate their digital transformation initiatives, integration has become the backbone of modern IT — connecting an ever-growing number of data sources, systems, applications, APIs and services.
At the heart of these integrations and workflows is data. Yet despite its importance, integration-related data is often scattered across external third-party storage systems and solutions (such as databases, spreadsheets, files, API caches, etc.). This fragmentation adds complexity; increases maintenance overhead; and hinders scalability across integration projects, workflows and environments. Moreover, it introduces multiple points of failure, complicating state tracking for long-running processes and forcing teams to rely on fragile workarounds.
These external storage systems also create barriers to visibility, security and compliance. Debugging becomes more difficult when data isn’t readily accessible. In addition, sensitive configuration data stored outside the iPaaS (Integration-Platform-as-a-Service) layer can expose organizations to security risks and compliance violations if proper controls aren’t in place.
Introducing Cloud Datastore: Cloud-Native Storage for Smarter Integrations
To solve the complexity of managing integration data, Jitterbit has introduced Cloud Datastore — a serverless, cloud-native storage service built directly into the Jitterbit Harmony platform environment.
Jitterbit Cloud Datastore is purpose-built for all your integration data needs, providing a centralized, scalable and flexible solution for storing and managing structured data and enabling IT teams to manage integration data natively within the platform. Moreover, Cloud Datastore eliminates the need for external databases or file-based workarounds.
The result: faster automations, reduced operational overhead and simplified data management.
Highly Scalable and Flexible
Cloud Datastore provides low-latency data access and full operational visibility. It offers two storage types optimized for different use cases and data lifecycles:
- Status Storage: Temporary storage for execution metadata, retries and workflow states; automatically retained for 90 days.
- Key Storage: Persistent key-value storage for long-lived data such as tokens, credentials and mappings; retained until manually deleted.
This tiered approach to data storage allows teams to manage both transient and long-term data efficiently, without added infrastructure complexity.
Optimized for Performance
Built to scale with your integration needs, Cloud Datastore supports full CRUD operations — read, write, update and delete — in real-time, to and from the Datastore. Moreover, it supports seamless interaction with workflows and API responses. This flexibility allows teams to manage data dynamically throughout the lifecycle of integrations, enabling more intelligent and responsive automation.
Fast Data Access and Queries
Cloud Datastore provides fast, low-latency access to data across workflows and integration projects, making it easy to perform lookups and caching, or to reference key information during integration execution. This ensures that the data needed at each step is readily available, reducing delays and improving operational responsiveness.
Smarter Tracking, Better Integrations
Enhanced data tracking enables better auditability and diagnostics by storing structured, retrievable records at each step of the integration process. This improves visibility into data flows, making it easier to trace issues, analyze outcomes and ensure compliance — ultimately leading to more reliable and maintainable integrations.
Easy Accessibility
Cloud Datastore is natively accessible through the Jitterbit Management Console and Integration Studio via a dedicated connector. Whether you’re designing, monitoring or troubleshooting workflows, seamless access to the Datastore is always within reach.
Unlock New Possibilities with Self-Contained Automation
Jitterbit Cloud Datastore expands what’s possible with automation by enabling a wide range of new use cases. From persisting workflow states to creating mini “data hubs,” it gives teams the ability to store tokens, session data and metadata — all within a single storage solution. This powerful, self-contained approach simplifies automation design and execution, unlocking more flexible, responsive and intelligent workflows.
Security, Permissions and Compliance
Security is built into every layer of Cloud Datastore. Data is encrypted both at rest and in transit, and access is governed through robust role-based controls aligned with Jitterbit user permissions. With full support for regulatory standards like GDPR, Cloud Datastore helps enterprises maintain compliance while keeping sensitive integration data protected.
An Operational Edge for Integration Teams
By consolidating data storage and management within the Harmony platform, Cloud Datastore eliminates reliance on third-party storage systems and accelerates execution. It simplifies integration architecture and frees teams from the overhead of managing external storage or navigating between multiple environments to access and manage integration data.
For enterprises focused on scalability, visibility, and control, Cloud Datastore marks a foundational shift in how integration data is stored and managed — securely, efficiently, and with performance in mind. It’s an enabler of faster, simpler and more reliable integrations.
