MySQL analytics, without the export
MySQL is where a lot of companies keep the application database, and often it is the oldest system still running in production.
What teams ask of MySQL
Typed the way you would say them. Each answer comes back with its chart, its numbers and the SQL that produced them, so it can be checked before anyone acts on it.
- “How many active accounts are there by status, and how has that moved month over month?”
- “What does daily order volume look like against the same week last year?”
- “Which customers signed up but never got as far as the step that matters?”
- “Which of last quarter's new accounts are still ordering?”
What it gets joined with
The questions that matter rarely live in one system. Supaboard writes the query across every source you have connected, so the join happens when the question is asked rather than in a pipeline project that has to be scoped first.
- Stripe — orders the application recorded, against payments that actually settled.
- Zendesk Support — the account row, against the tickets that account raised.
How the connection works
MySQL is one of the 124 sources you can connect yourself, out of a catalogue of 700+. It connects directly and is queried live, so setting up a first analysis takes about 5 minutes.
MySQL connects on a host, a port and a database, with no separate schema to pick. If the database is not reachable from the internet, the same form will tunnel over SSH using either a password or a private key. The databases offered in the dropdown are only the ones your credentials can actually open.
- Read-only by construction: the query layer rejects DDL and DML — DROP, CREATE, ALTER, TRUNCATE, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, GRANT, REVOKE and CALL — before a statement reaches your source.
- Credentials are encrypted at rest, scoped per workspace, never logged and never returned to a client.
- On the Enterprise plan the whole platform runs inside your own VPC, with no data egress at all. See Enterprise.
- From $83 per user per month billed annually, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card — see pricing.
