Beacon - Write, run and share SQL in Slack

by
Beacon makes the output from any SQL query super accessible to everyone in your team by posting the results right in Slack. And, collaborating in SQL becomes a breeze because you can save your favourite queries and share them with your team.

👋 Hey Product Hunt! We're really excited to share Beacon. Beacon lets you share the results of SQL queries with your team right in slack. This makes it really easy to get all the latest product/company analytics and KPIs into your conversations. As a fully remote team, most of our decisions happen in slack. And when we make decisions we want relevant and up to date data. We built Beacon version 1.0 for ourselves so we could get our BigQuery results in slack without switching to another tool. But we had so much fun with it we decided that somebody else might just love it too. We've made a lot of changes since: Beacon now supports a bunch of common data warehouses and databases. You can save queries for the whole team so non-SQLers can get the latest data too. And you can control data access per user. Beacon is just the simplest way to ask your data questions and get the answers right away back in your conversation. Give it a try and 1-click install into your slack workspace at https://gethubble.io/beacon

Dope product! One feature request, based on a use case from earlier this week--when the results of a query are very long, dump it into a CSV and attach the CSV to the post!

@akshaybuddiga Great point! We provide links out for BigQuery at the moment if it's a really long result - but planning on adding CSV attachments soon too :)

Congrats team! This looks great, being able to share data straight in Slack is pretty sweet. Can't wait to try it!! 🙌

Definitely looks more convenient that the excel exports/screenshots that I share these days..

This is so fantastic. So much easier than sending text queries back and forth
Harry Grieve
Controlling data access per user is a great/essential feature.

At a previous company we talked about doing this, but for database migrations. Turns out all we had to do was change our perspective from engineering to analytics. Great idea.

Very cool. I can see how it saves a ton of back-n-forth for teams that rely on this information.
