Cloud DDC Available for Pilot

May 14, 2025

“Cloud DDC” is Epic’s tool for storing and sending large binary data to distributed teams. Its primary use is right in the name - it can act as a cloud-based Derived Data Cache. For teams that are struggling with long cook times, long shader compile times, or slow deployment to target platforms, it offers huge productivity gains. We’re especially excited about Epic’s focus on improving on-target iteration.

We spoke with many teams who experimented with the previous solution, the “S3 DDC” who did not see substantial benefits. This is a wholly different technology.

Universal Foundry’s implementation allows your users to log in via their existing identity provider and with a small configuration change have access to download and share cooked data. If your team is interested in piloting this technology, please contact us.
