bus factor 2 concentrated

bus factor = how many people it takes to cover more than half the commits (6 months). 1 is a solo project; higher means the work is spread across a team. top-author share is the single busiest author's slice of those commits.

why it's a big deal

  • Lowers the barrier for non-technical users to access and analyze complex datasets.
  • Produces accurate SQL and governed outputs via a semantic layer.
  • Embeds directly into apps or workflows, enabling SaaS features and custom agents.

under the hood

  • Supports major data sources (Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, MySQL, ClickHouse, Oracle, MSSQL, Trino, DuckDB).
  • Integrates with multiple LLMs: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, Ollama, Databricks, and more.
  • Modular architecture with API access, managed cloud service, and open source self-hosted deployment.
