What's the performance like for large datasets, is there a timeout on query time, or a caching scheme behind the scenes?
Also, this looks similar in functionality to ChartIO and Mode, do you have a summary of how this is differentiated?
Edit: I wanted to add: great work!
- ljw1001 9y agoCould you provide a link to Mode? I'm not familiar with it and the name is epically un-googleable.
- dvdhsu 9y agoFast. We use connect directly to your SQL database (mongo coming soon) so that's the perf bottleneck. Currently no query timeout -- if you host it yourself, the server is also async, so timeouts won't be an issue. Caching behind the scenes is something we'll build over the next month. I think that Chartio and Mode are very good answering questions, and exploring data. If your problem is "what is our CAGR since 2015", Chartio is good for that. Mode, I think, is more similar to us, and certainly better for data analysis. I think, however, that we are more customizable than Mode -- imagine writing a search box in Mode, for example, in order to drill in deep on a certain customer's orders. I think we're more about building apps that would be rote coding otherwise (e.g. building a CRUD app to manage orders), or empowering non-engineers to build and maintain these apps themselves. Instead of hiring more engineers, what if you made everybody in your company able to quickly build simple software? I think Excel has been very empowering, and we want to do the same.
