A system for routing data requests may include internal systems that generate data requests to be routed to external data stores. The system may include a cloud computing platform that is configured to receive the data requests from the internal systems. For each data request, the system may determine a type associated with the data request, select a subset of the external data stores that are capable of fulfilling the data request based on the type of the data request, and select an external data store from the subset based on an identity of an internal system from which the data request was received and thresholds associated with the external data stores.
