New Feature available: FlexFunctions!
We’re excited to announce the release of *FlexFunctions*—now live in GoodData Cloud as a Beta feature! FlexFunctions is a new type of data source that contains functions and runs as a server by calling remote procedures using the Apache Arrow Flight RPC protocol.
Key Benefits:
•
Enables new use cases: Ideal for situations where there are high compute needs or on-the-fly large crunching of data sets (think applying benchmarking, working with current/historical FX rates, or other live streaming use cases)
•
Data Source Flexibility: FlexFunctions can connect to data in many ways -- from external APIs, integrated DBs, SQL, or even by querying GoodData
•
Highly Efficient: Data is transferred in a columnar format through FlightRPC
🛠️
Feature Rollout:
• Available today in GoodData Cloud as a Beta feature
• Anticipating to go GA in GoodData Cloud next month
• Support for
GoodData.CN coming soon
