Bring your own Cube
Embeddable comes with a built-in Cube deployment. This lets you get started without any setup, and makes the platform simple to use out-of-the-box. In some cases, however, you may want to connect your own Cube deployment (opens in a new tab) instead. This page explains how.
When to use built-in vs. bring-your-own
Most users start with the built-in Cube managed by Embeddable. It works immediately, requires no setup, and keeps costs lower.
You might choose to bring-your-own-Cube if:
- You already have an existing Cube Cloud (opens in a new tab) or Cube Core (opens in a new tab) setup.
- You want to connect other tools, other than Embeddable, to your Cube deployment.
- You need advanced control over infrastructure.
If you are not sure, start with Embeddable’s managed Cube. You can always switch later.
Built-in Cube deployment
By default, Embeddable runs on a managed Cube deployment.
Advantages:
- No setup required.
- Instantly available for use—no setup required before creating dashboards.
- Lower cost—no separate cube license to pay.
- No infrastructure to manage.
- Backed by excellent support from the Embeddable team.
Bring-your-own-Cube
You can also connect Embeddable to an external Cube deployment. Refer to the following sections based on your deployment type:
- Connecting Embeddable to Cube Cloud
- Connecting Embeddable to Cube Core
If you use this option, the Connect your data and Data modelling sections of this handbook are not relevant to you.
