Some questions: - Is there druid integration? Is this a replacement for druid? - How does schema inference work? - Can I do SQL queries? - How is this b

  There is no integration for any db setup at the moment, but this is one of the next things we will tackle for sure! Druid was not on our radar, seems like it is used a lot in automotive/aerospace. Never tested superset, I'll give it a try. But it looks to be more like a dashboarding tool. Our goal is to provide an investigative tool that allows the user to detect problems and in a very interactive way change the visualisation.

    I downloaded and looked at it. Very cool. Superset has the broad alchemy integration, which is pretty nice. Integrating into a larger enterprise data dictionary would be nice. Eg, amazon glue This is really a big data visualization tool. There's a whole gigantic rich market there to capture. You seem to be looking at it from the perspective of csv files, which is a fresh take, I guess. It's also unfortunately a very competitive space being worked on by folks with insanely deep pockets and hyper smart engineers: https://www.newgenapps.com/blog/10-big-data-visualization-tools/ https://www.newgenapps.com/blog/10-big-data-visualization-to... Still, a lot of what's out there is ungainly bloat ware meant for business logic data. If you target specific engineering/science verticals with clear use cases, it would compete.

      (other co-founder) Thanks a lot! Great to hear these positive reactions. You make some very valid points. We are indeed trying to focus on a certain use case, which we encountered our self in the past.
