Show HN: Tool for Creating SQL Pipelines – Structure.rest Hi All! We've spent a few months on getting an MVP together, and would love to get some feedback on whether this tool meets you needs. Here is a link to a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBLi3vdKB-4&feature=emb_rel_pause Here's a link to our website: https://www.structure.rest And here's a blog article, I published today in the space: https://www.structure.rest/blog/using-a-data-analytics-stack-to-gain-business-insights |
Alteryx has been around this space for forever and has had great (really astounding) success with their UI. So, I think your idea of keeping the UI but using SQL (to version to control, etc.) makes sense. In the future, it seems totally possible that you add more drag-and-drop functionality that allows non-SQL capable analysts to make queries, join things, filter, etc. (like in Alteryx) but that then actually generates SQL.
From a company building perspective, I think there is an open question whether you need to reinvent the framework yourself or use dbt under the hood (already huge community & permissive license) and simply offer a better/alternative UI targeted at a different audience.
