🏗️ Asset Types in Quary

Define and manage the following asset types as code:

  • Sources: Define the external data sources that feed into Quary, such as database tables, flat files, or APIs (with DuckDB).
  • Models: Transform raw data from sources into analysis-ready datasets using SQL, this lets engineers split complex queries into atomic components.
  • Charts: Create visual representations of your data using SQL.
  • 🚧 Dashboards (WIP): Combine multiple charts into a single view, allowing engineers to monitor and analyze data in one place.
  • 🚧 Reports (WIP): Create detailed reports to share insights and findings with your team or stakeholders.
