If your data lacks uniform time intervals between consecutive entries, QuestDB offers a solution by allowing you to sample your data. After that, MindsDB facilitates creating, training, and deploying your time-series models.

MindsDB is an open-source AI platform for developers that connects AI/ML models with real-time data. It provides tools and automation to easily build and maintain personalized AI solutions.

MindsDB combines both AI and SQL functions in one; users can create, train, optimize, and deploy ML models without the need for external tools. Data analysts can create and visualize forecasts without having to navigate the complexities of ML pipelines.MindsDB is open-source and works with well-known databases like MySQL, Postgres, Redit, Snowflakes, etc.

Mindsdb is a good example. It abstracts everything related to an AI workflow as "virtual tables". For example, you can import OpenAI API as a "virtual table":

MindsDB is an AI Automation platform for building AI/ML powered features and applications. It works by connecting any data source with any AI/ML model or framework and automating how real-time data flows between them. MindsDB is integrated with LlamaIndex, which makes use of its data framework for connecting custom data sources to large language models. LlamaIndex data ingestion allows you to connect to data sources like PDF’s, webpages, etc., provides data indexing and a query interface that takes input prompts from your data and provides knowledge-augmented responses, thus making it easy to Q&A over documents and webpages.

Now, imagine if you can deploy these highly trained models in your database to get insights, make predictions, understand your users, auto-generate content, and more. MindsDB makes this possible! MindsDB is an open-source AI database middleware that allows you to supercharge your databases by integrating various machine learning (ML) engines.

Steampipe is a tool for querying cloud APIs and other data sources using SQL in a zero-ETL manner.

Readers may also enjoy Steampipe [1], an open source CLI to live query Google Sheets [2] and 140+ other services with SQL (e.g. AWS, GitHub, etc). It uses Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers under the hood and supports joins etc across the services. (Disclaimer - I'm a lead on the project.)

be mindful of its AGPLv3 https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.21.8/LICENSE (AFAIK v0.4.3 is the last MIT release https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.4.3/LICENSE ) and the actual providers are Apache 2 <https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-plugin-aws/blob/v0.131.0...> (but I don't know if provider drift makes them compatible with 0.4 or not)

iasql seems to be AWS only, but good for them for taking this on:

In a prior post I showed how to install Steampipe in AWS CloudShell to instantly query over 460+ resource types from your AWS APIs using SQL, and another post on how to use the Steampipe AWS Compliance mod to assess over 25+ security benchmarks across your AWS accounts.

Readers may find Steampipe's [1] AWS Thrifty Mod [2] useful. It will automatically scan multiple accounts and regions for 50 cost saving opportunities - many of which are looking for over-provisioned or unused resources. For example, it's crazy how much you can save by doing things like just converting your EBS volumes to the newer gp3 type. Combine with Flowpipe [3] to automate checks and actions. It's all open source and extensible.

Steampipe [1] is an open source project [2] that includes an embedded Postgres to instantly query cloud, code & more with SQL. This release expands our plugin ecosystem [3] to be a full Zero-ETL platform. Steampipe plugins can now run natively in your own Postgres as Foreign Data Wrappers [4], as SQLite extensions [5] or as simple data export tools [6]. Please give it a try, we'd love your feedback and contributions!
