Getting Started
DbFace
DbFace is an analytics workspace for internal data products. It brings datasource management, SQL exploration, DSDL authoring, report preview, publishing, and embedding into one delivery path.
Introduction
This documentation set follows a product-docs structure closer to MUI Getting Started than to a marketing site. If you are new to DbFace, start here and then move into Getting Started and the core concepts pages.
Why DbFace
- A shorter path from datasource connection to a published dashboard.
- AI and DSDL work together. Start from a draft and refine it through structured definitions.
- Built for internal data products, with view pages, embedding, permissions, and Cloud Code extension.
- Designed around real collaboration between business users, analysts, and admins.
