The new solution connects to SQL data sources and builds an API backend to serve this data to an application. It enables developers to build applications with visualization libraries and front-end code tools easily. It utilizes all open-source Cube offerings features, including SQL modeling, data schema, access control, a querying API, and caching and acceleration. Cube Cloud features include:
- Automatic management and scaling of the Cube Cloud infrastructure
- Schema pre-compilations and cache warm-ups
- Collaborative schema editing integrated with Git version control
- Query history views with performance analysis
- Interactive management of Cube materializations
Artyom Keydunov, chief executive and co-founder of Cube Dev said,
“To build an application that uses data from a data warehouse, a developer will typically design and maintain the logic and infrastructure they need to request data from multiple sources, a complex, and time-consuming process. Cube Cloud’s hosted infrastructure provides businesses with reduced engineering complexity, increased reliability and performance, and radically shortened time to build their data applications.”
