Cube Core is an open‑source, headless semantic layer that exposes metrics, dimensions and access rules through SQL, REST and GraphQL APIs. It provides a unified, governed data model for BI tools, custom applications and AI agents.
Use cases
- embed analytics dashboards into a SaaS product
- provide AI agents with governed data via a SQL API
- build internal business‑intelligence tools using a single semantic model
- serve real‑time analytics queries with sub‑second latency
- enable multi‑tenant analytics for multiple customers
- integrate diverse SQL data sources into a unified API
When to choose
- You need a central semantic layer that can be accessed by both humans and AI agents
- You want sub‑second query latency with built‑in caching
- You require multi‑tenant, governed analytics that can be self‑hosted or run in Docker/Kubernetes
- You prefer an open‑source alternative to proprietary BI semantic layers
When to avoid
- You need a full‑featured BI UI out of the box (Cube Core is headless)
- Your workload relies heavily on non‑SQL data sources or requires a NoSQL‑native engine
- You prefer a managed SaaS solution without any operational overhead
