GoodData Unveils FlexConnect for Advanced Data Connectivity

GoodData has announced the launch of FlexConnect, a significant addition to the GoodData Analytics Lake. This new tool enhances data connectivity and computation, allowing organizations to connect to any data source and execute custom computations in real time. FlexConnect supports integration with APIs, databases, and machine learning systems using languages like Python and Rust.

Significantly, the platform simplifies data operations by facilitating quick integration without extended development periods. It supports building custom algorithms and machine learning workflows directly into data connections. FlexConnect leverages Apache Flight RPC for universal connectivity, enabling swift deployment and scaling of data products.

Moreover, it enhances accuracy and trust by providing consistent results across self-service BI users and advanced developers. Positioned as part of a next-generation technology suite, FlexConnect is based on open-source foundations such as DuckDB and Apache Arrow, offering efficient storage and in-memory computation for a unified analytics solution.
