A Bobsled Transfer is a direct data pipeline from your source to your destination—no persistent copy in between.
Think of it as Bobsled acting as the courier: we pick up data from where it lives, convert it into the right format for your destination, and drop it off—quickly, reliably, and on your schedule.
How it works
Connect Sources: Providers give Bobsled read-only access to the data they wish to transfer to their consumer organizations and set up a data source in Bobsled to specify the data's location.
Create Share: Providers create a data share in Bobsled, selecting a destination, authorizing access, and defining the following configurations:
Data loading patterns (e.g. append or overwrite)
Query optimization settings (e.g. clustering)
Transfer Data: Bobsled transfers the data to the target platform and region specified in the share configuration. Consumers can securely access the shared data from the designated destination.
