Summary

Cube has helped thousands of companies consume data from any source, organize it into consistent definitions, and use it with data applications since its open-source launch in 2019. The company aims to make Cube's power more accessible to a broader range of users, including analysts and business users who don't typically work with code. To achieve this, Cube has updated its SQL API to enable integration with popular business intelligence tools like Tableau, Superset, and Power BI. This update allows users to connect any data visualization and BI application to Cube via the Postgres SQL interface, providing consistent data definitions across an organization. With this change, Cube reduces the difficulty of exploring data with collaborative data tools and notebooks, centrally manages access to up-stack data stores, and minimizes bandwidth costs and degraded performance by caching queries and aggregate tables. The new SQL API is now available in both the open-source Cube tool and Cube Cloud, a managed service hosted within select regions of Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services.
