ABOUT THE TALK
  • Analytics & BI

The ability to aggregate raw data into summarized metrics and slice them across dimensions is at the core of analytics teams' work. This session reveals how Rill has developed a metrics layer that declares metrics entirely with SQL expressions, overcoming traditional limitations of metrics management. By leveraging DuckDB and Clickhouse, attendees will discover how to generate multi-dimensional OLAP cubes, implement real-time data access with sub-second performance, and create uniform dashboards through a BI-as-code philosophy. Learn how to define, manage, and secure metrics using an innovative SQL-based approach that transforms raw data into powerful, actionable insights.
