Today, we announced the launch of Datasets, and the end of data onboarding as you know it. QuantConnect Datasets is a true end-to-end integration that allows alternative vendor datasets to be spun up and applied effortlessly, enabling quants to harness a data feed with a single line of code. With Datasets, quants can now go from research to live trading in minutes.

One of the most time-consuming aspects of algo development is the onboarding of data, or ETL. Ingesting data had to be repeated over and over for each user of a dataset – wasting time and valuable resources. But now that has all changed! With QuantConnect Datasets, vendors can now code the integration and push the data to the QuantConnect cloud. All data can then be instantly consumed within the QC cloud or easily downloaded to a quant's local environment with the LEAN CLI. The result? Quants can focus on using the data value and writing better strategies, not on ETL work.
