This session includes two great talks on how you can use HPCC Systems with different data sources. First up, hear from Lee Saunders on how his team is using Power BI. Then Jack Del Vecchio will talk about his summer internship project interfacing MongoDB with ECL. A session not to miss!
Excerpt from Lee:
Are you currently manually de-spraying CSV files to keep your Power BI reports up-to-date? Once upon a time our team was doing just that spending 5 days a month updating reports, now it takes minutes. In this talk we will show you:
• A process to set up and publish ECL queries to generate a REST URL (JSON output).
• How to link your Power BI reports for direct data refresh.
• Demonstrate how gateways can allow a scheduled refresh of this data, removing the need for any manual intervention in report updates.
Excerpt from Jack:
This summer I worked on a project for interfacing MongoDB into ECL. The goals were to develop a plugin that uses the HPCC Systems engine to query and return results from MongoDB. In this talk, I'll share all the features that my plugin can support. MongoDB has some pretty cool things that you can do, and I'll show off some of the most useful features with some example code. I think this plugin will be very versatile in what it supports, and explaining its use could be very useful for someone writing ECL code and trying to use MongoDB. I will also share a bit about my experience as an intern and what it was like to start developing with very limited experience on ECL or HPCC Systems.
