Here is a list of considerations to build your own agentic commerce platform
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Dataiera versus your own build.
| Category | Sub category |
Dataiera
One integration, fully managed
|
Your Build
What you'd have to deliver yourself
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Data ingestion | Adaptable - Offline catalog upload, API/MCP or web scraping |
||
| Build | AI / model strategy | Model-agnostic: OpenAI, Azure, Bedrock, Anthropic, Vertex. Routing to optimise costs. |
|
| AI processes | We manage all the AI complexity, memory management, RAG with vector database, optimisation and indexing. |
||
| Security & Data Compliance | Data compliance end-to-end to ensure PII is not shared with external model processes |
||
| Payments | PCI DSS Level 1. Agentic payment rails (Mastercard Agent Pay and Visa Intelligent Commerce) |
||
| Distribution | Protocols | UCP, ACP & A2A: to support ChatGPT, Gemini, WhatsApp, etc. |
|
| Interoperability | Multi-tenancy plus our cart processes enable merchants to collaborate for cross-sell and maintain merchant of record. |
||
| Scale | Multi-tenancy | Sophisticated multi-tenancy structure that supports scaling to millions of merchants and marketplace-type scenarios. |
Engineered to scale, interoperate and endure.
Each difference compounds. A proven core means we are not re-architecting under load; model-agnostic orchestration means no lock-in as the frontier moves; built-in agentic payments and native channel distribution mean you reach buyers where they already shop — without stitching together a stack yourself.
