## BDP Enterprise

## Snowplow BDP Enterprise

Snowplow BDP Enterprise is deployed using a “private SaaS” or “Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC)” deployment model. This means the data pipeline is hosted and run in your own cloud environment, using your data warehouse or lake. (These comprise the **data plane**.) The ongoing pipeline maintenance, such as upgrades and security patches, are still managed by Snowplow.

The **control plane**, which includes a UI and an API for [defining your data](/docs/data-product-studio/data-products/index.md) and managing your infrastructure, is hosted by Snowplow.

## Snowplow Micro
## Micro

While not a full substitute for a real Snowplow pipeline, [Snowplow Micro](/docs/data-product-studio/data-quality/snowplow-micro/index.md) could be a quick way to get a feel for how Snowplow works for more technical users. Note that Micro does not store data in any warehouse or database, but you will be able to look at the available fields.
