About DataRunner

Built for teams that live in SQL

Every data team we've talked to has the same story: someone built a cron job, it works for a while, then it breaks quietly, and by the time anyone notices, a stakeholder has been making decisions on stale data for weeks. DataRunner exists to replace that brittle stack.

Our mission

Get insights from database to inbox, automatically

The problem isn't writing SQL. Data teams are excellent at SQL. The problem is everything that comes after the query: scheduling it, formatting the output, routing it to the right people, knowing when it runs and when it fails, and repeating all of that reliably for months and years without anyone having to babysit it.

That's the gap DataRunner fills. Not a BI tool, not a data warehouse, not a pipeline platform. A focused tool that automates one thing very well: taking SQL output and delivering it where it needs to go, on time, every time, with full visibility.

For teams that can't or don't want to run a SaaS backend, the Enterprise edition deploys on your own infrastructure as a single native binary — no cloud dependency, no outbound calls, no external services. The same product, fully under your control.

What we believe

Four principles that shape every product decision.

SQL is enough

Most reporting problems don't need a data warehouse, a BI tool, or a dedicated data engineer. They need a SQL query and a delivery mechanism. We build for that reality.

No infrastructure tax

Cron jobs, SMTP servers, S3 buckets, Slack bots — these are solved problems. DataRunner bundles them so your team doesn't have to build and maintain that layer.

Transparency over magic

Every query, every run, every delivery is logged and visible. Nothing happens in the dark. You can see exactly what ran, when, with what result, and what was sent.

Self-hosted when it matters

Not every team can send their database credentials to a SaaS platform. Enterprise runs entirely on your infrastructure — air-gapped, no outbound calls, no heartbeat.
