Summary

Hex is a modern data workspace that makes it easy to connect to data, analyze it in collaborative SQL and Python-powered notebooks, and share work as interactive data apps and stories. It provides three major elements: Logic View for developing analysis, App Builder for creating interactive apps with dynamic reports and dashboards, and Share Dialog for collaborating on analysis or exposing it as a publicly-accessible app. Cube is the headless BI platform that accesses data from modern data stores, organizes it into consistent metrics definitions, and delivers them to downstream applications, providing benefits such as data source support, data modeling, performance, and native SQL. By connecting Hex with Cube upstream, users can achieve consistent metrics definitions for their data analysis and data apps, making it easier to collaborate and share knowledge across teams.
