I found references to Software-Defined Data Integration (SDDI) in non-technical articles about Palantir. However, I do not see this term clearly explained in Foundry learning materials.
Is SDDI a marketing concept, the name of a specific technical approach, an embedded Foundry capability that is not visible as a separate tool, or a legacy term?
Short answer: SDDI is the concept, HyperAuto is an example of a product that implements it. Palantir’s own docs literally title the section “HyperAuto (SDDI)”, so the two are used almost interchangeably.
It is not marketing fluff, not a legacy term, and not an invisible embedded feature. It is the architectural pattern (programmatically generated pipelines that connect, clean, normalize and harmonize ERP/CRM data into an Ontology-ready asset), and HyperAuto is its realization in Foundry. The reason SDDI does not show up clearly in Foundry learning materials is that the label sits one level above the tooling, while learner-facing docs go straight to HyperAuto, Data Connection, Pipeline Builder and the Ontology.
Great answer. I marked it as the solution.
However, if anyone wants to share more about HyperAuto, please feel free to chime in
