Data Download Service
The Data Download service is the key tool for Self-Serve setups, where users are selecting their own choice of data to download. It operates in a different way to simply running a workspace.
When you run a workspace with the Job Submitter service the data is written to the location specified by the workspace; for example a file, directory, or database.
The Data Download service instead writes the output to a zip file and presents the user with a link to that file. This makes it ideal for self-serve, because the data is delivered directly to the user.
