I'm Colman. Today, we're introducing Slight: a layer on top of your data warehouse, offering intuitive interfaces and access for all users. Simply use SQL, and have a whole set of ways to connect people to data. Over the past few months, we've been refining our product and incorporating feedback from our early users. Now, as we move into public beta, we're ready to share Slight with the Product Hunt community. We don't have a PH-specific code (please forgive us!), but mainly that's because Slight is free until your account reaches fifty users. Enjoy growth without stressing over costs as your user base expands, whether from increased internal use or catering to a growing number of external customers. So if you sign up today at https://www.slight.co/trial, you won't have to pay anything until Slight is creating huge value for you and your team. 📊 The main idea Slight takes your parameterized queries and turns them into accessible interfaces, enabling internal and external users to seamlessly access data in spreadsheets, APIs, our website UI, and beyond. We aim to unlock the full potential of your data warehouse for all users. We aim to bridge the gap between data teams and their stakeholders. Slight empowers your team and external users to work with data the way they prefer. 🚀 What sets Slight apart Unlike say BI tools, Slight doesn't try to keep you trapped within our tool: we want to connect you to where you and your users work best instead. Of course, we still want access to be governed and auditable, and provenance of the data easy to follow, but without the downside of making everyone stay within a tool they don't necessarily like (or e.g. resorting to CSV exports to escape). Along with this, a big focus of ours is serving external users/customers, both safely and conveniently. We want to help companies make a real product offering from sharing data with their external users. For a bit more about what Slight can do for you, check out this blog post by Pedram Navid, an expert in the data field: https://www.slight.co/blog/gcp-b.... In the post, Pedram demonstrates how Slight enables your users to work where they best provide value. 🌟 What's to come Our caching solution, for both internal and external use-cases, will be out soon. Internally this means you can easily replace direct queries (e.g. to kick off an ML process) with calls to Slight, saving money and time, while also using a centralized governed set of queries to keep everyone in sync. For your external users, you can give them safe access to your warehouse, without worrying they'll rack up huge bills while accessing data. We appreciate your support, and we're excited to see how Slight can help you unlock the full potential of your data warehouse. Sign up today at https://www.slight.co/trial!
