Cube is a universal semantic layer that makes it easy to connect data silos, create consistent metrics, and make them accessible to any data experience your business or your customers needs. Data engineers and application developers use Cube’s developer-friendly platform to organize data from your cloud data warehouses into centralized, consistent definitions, and deliver it to every downstream tool via its APIs.
Your business data becomes consistent, accurate, easy to access, and, most importantly, trusted. Once trusted, the use of data accelerates throughout your organization, delivering better experiences to your customers and driving intelligence back into the business.
With Cube, you can build a data model, manage access control and caching, and expose your data to every application via REST, GraphQL, and SQL APIs. With these APIs, you can use any charting library to build custom UI, connect existing dashboarding and reporting tools, and build AI agents with frameworks like LangChain.
