How it works

How VisoFlow is built, how it scales, and how it performs.

For engineers and technical teams who want the full picture before they decide: the roles, the ingestion path, the machinery underneath, and how it benchmarks against the alternatives.

Two roles. One platform.

Every VisoFlow deployment runs on the same model. Vendors manage at scale. Customers work in isolation. Data never crosses between them.

No data crosses

The vendor

You run the platform.

Provision new customer environments in minutes. Clone proven setups across tenants. Monitor everything from one place. You never see customer data. Isolation is enforced by the architecture, not by policy.

  • Multi-tenant overview
  • Clone configurations
  • Centralized monitoring
  • No access to customer data

The customer

You own your environment.

Work inside a fully isolated lakehouse. Build tables, pipelines and analytics logic in SQL. You see only your own data. No shared infrastructure, no shared risk.

  • Fully isolated lakehouse
  • Pure SQL, no DevOps
  • DEV / QA / PROD
  • Full ownership of tables and flows

One platform. Two roles. Data separation is not a setting. It is the architecture.

How data gets in

Nothing gets installed. Nothing gets opened.

Every connection is opened by the customer, from inside their own network, outbound only.

You move data out to VisoFlow. VisoFlow never reaches in.

Trust boundary — one outbound path, no inbound port

Four steps, all of them outbound

  1. 01

    Run the tool.

    The customer runs it on their own machine, on their own schedule. No inbound port. No agent, daemon or scheduled task left behind. No credentials held by us.

  2. 02

    Prepare locally.

    Files are discovered, validated and converted to open Parquet on the customer's own disk, before anything leaves the building.

  3. 03

    Upload directly.

    The platform returns short-lived, single-use upload links. Data goes straight to the customer's own storage paths.

  4. 04

    Flows take over.

    The standardized process flows pick it up from there: validation, transformation, scheduling, monitoring.

LoadWizzard CLI

A single binary and a config file. Nothing to compile, nothing to deploy. The fastest way to get a non-technical customer sending data this week.

Python SDK

For customers whose team already lives in Python. Drop it into an existing job, scheduler or service.

Rust SDK

For teams that want the loader embedded directly in their own application.

Three front ends, one engine. Identical behaviour and the same audit trail whichever your customer picks. Credentials can be supplied through environment variables and are redacted from logs and config output.

What runs under every deployment

You are buying a standardized operating model. This is the machinery that makes it standardized.

01

Serverless execution

A deployed flow runs start to finish on its own, independently of the control interface. You pay for work done rather than for capacity sitting idle between runs.

02

Command Center

One operational interface for provisioning, flows, roles, monitoring and backups, across every customer you run. It holds no customer data itself.

03

Validation before execution

Before anything runs, the platform checks references, blocks unauthorized destructive operations, and rejects scans expensive enough to surprise you on the bill.

04

Failures that name themselves

When a flow breaks, the error names the layer it broke in and the exact query that broke. Operational alerts reach both you and your customer.

05

Changes go live safely

Work a change through separate environments, take a configuration backup before a promotion, and push it to production as one controlled step.

06

Open storage, standard SQL

Data lands as open Parquet at every layer. Your logic is standard SQL: readable, reviewable, exportable, and runnable elsewhere unchanged. Housekeeping runs automatically.

Roles & regions

Roles are simple by design. Admin manages the account, users and flow configuration. User runs flows with limited editing. Viewer reads. Nobody has to manage infrastructure. Vendor accounts can be provisioned by region, and EU customers are hosted on EU infrastructure.

From source to outcome

Every deployment follows the same path.
