This is pretty cool, I've been following you guys since your Skydeck demo day back in 2018. Would we be able to use your tool for Tableu?

That's awesome :). Yes, you are able to use any BI Tools as Tableau, Power BI, SAS BI, or any other BI Tool that you can connect to external databases. Tutorials and examples of BI Tools should be published soon on our documentation.

Is it inside the database? It looks as though it's actually in a separate server, that is called by the database.

From the user perspective it's inside the database, you can run mindsdb in the backgrond,connect it to the database once, and then do everything from within the database (i.e. connecting with a sql client to your database server and issuing commands the same way you would query "normal" tables).

From a technical perspective it's a separate server that communicates with the database through various mechanisms (e.g. federate engine) but it's no different from e.g. multiple instance of mariadb being abstracted by a galera cluster into something that behaves like a single database from a client perspective.

Looks very interesting! Any plans to support DynamoDB/Scylla?

Thanks for asking! We develop based on community requests, if you want we can setup a call, and we can see if we can help you with your data on DynamoDB/SCylia, its becoming pretty fast now to support new databases. send us an email to adam jorge at mindsdb.com

If you do have a Scylla use case, please also feel free to let us Scylla monsters know: peter at scylladb dot com. Very encouraged to see such a great convergence occurring between NoSQL + ML. The camps between data scientists and data engineers have been pitched too far apart to date. My best wishes to all those who helped bring this to fruition.

Go MindsDB!! We've enjoyed working with the MindsDB team at Altinity. The integration with ClickHouse makes clever use of the MySQL protocol to implement models as queryable tables. For anybody interested in the specifics check out the following article: https://altinity.com/blog/machine-learning-models-as-tables.

We will watch your career with great interest.
