MySQL analytics, without the export
Application data, and in a lot of companies the oldest system still 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 records by status, and how has that moved month over month?”
- “Which joins are we assuming that the data does not actually support?”
- “What does the daily transaction volume look like against the same week last year?”
- “Which records have gone stale under whatever rule the business uses for stale?”
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 in the application against payments that settled.
- Zendesk Support — the account record against the tickets it raised.
How the connection works
MySQL is one of the 123 sources you can connect yourself, out of a catalogue of 700+. Setting up a first analysis takes about 5 minutes.
MySQL is a native connector with its own connection UI, including SSH tunnelling for a database that is not exposed to the internet.
- 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.
