Welcome to e6data's Query Engine documentation. Continue on, to go from zero to your first running query, regardless of which cloud you are on.
e6 Query Engine is a lakehouse compute engine for data teams who need fast, cost-efficient analytics directly on their data lake. It runs SQL and AI workloads against your existing storage - S3, ADLS Gen2, or Iceberg-managed data - without copying data into a separate warehouse.
It is designed for the three things that make modern analytics hard:
High concurrency - many users running many queries at the same time.
Complex SQL - joins, window functions, and aggregations over large fact tables.
Cost discipline - paying for what you actually use, not for idle infrastructure.
BI dashboards at the scale of thousands of concurrent users, with sub-second query times.
Operational analytics for product, ops, and revenue teams that need fresh answers, not warehouse refresh cycles.
Ad-hoc exploration on data lakes too large to load into a traditional warehouse.
AI/ML feature pipelines running close to the data.
Everything you need to start querying with e6data - from understanding the platform to running your first query.
Architecture - Understand e6data's query engine architecture, key constructs, and supported deployment models.
Identity and access setup - Sign up, log in, set up your organization, and invite your team.
Deployment models - Two ways to run e6 Query Engine, both keeping your data in your cloud:
Serverless - e6 Query Engine manages the compute infrastructure. Fastest to get started.
In Your VPC - compute runs inside your own Kubernetes cluster. Useful when network isolation is a hard requirement.
Quickstart - your first end-to-end query, or jump straight to Deployment for your cloud.
FAQs for your deployment path: AWS Serverless, AWS In-VPC / CloudPrem, or Azure Serverless.
Contact your e6data CSM or support engineer for setup-specific questions.
