Highlights

• 🧵 I came across @steampipeio recently, which is a neat Postgres descendant that abstracts 100+ APIs behind SQL, and wanted to find a way to use it in an @evidence_dev project. #BusinessIntelligence #steampipeio #evidence #opensource #PostgreSQL #Analytics 1/4 (View Tweet)
  • Note: Thread evidence & steam pipe
• Because Steampipe is just Postgres, Evidence can already connect - so it already provides a great way to do analytics on API data while sticking to the familiar SQL + Markdown. In about 10 minutes I had this chart of Evidence’s stargazers working in Evidence 2/4 (View Tweet)
• I wanted to see if Steampipe and Evidence could play nicely with an existing Postgres database, so I could query data from my database, and also query APIs. Postgres foreign data wrapper made this a very straightforward setup 3/4 (View Tweet)
• I wrote all of this up into an example project with detailed setup steps. Check it out on GitHub, be sure to check out Evidence and Steampipe as well! 4/4 https://t.co/GKvAVf69H9 https://t.co/Kodcgi4rkY https://t.co/i3KTDwt5ZJ (View Tweet)
