🌈 Our quest at Hex is to build a magical, multi-modal data workspace that "just works" — without any performance penalty for all that magic. We want you to be able to seamlessly switch between SQL, Python, charts, spreadsheets, and more all in one place, without ever worrying about what's happening under the hood. With this North Star in mind, we recently finished a migration to DuckDB and Apache Arrow, which has increased project execution speeds from anywhere between 5-10x in performance of faster loading and data processing time. Across three test projects, we saw average runtimes go from: Project 1 (specific performance test) runtime: 12s → 1s Project 2 runtime (an important internal project): 15-20s → 3-5s Project 3 runtime (a critical customer workload): >2min → <30s This not only means that Hex is a lot faster overall, but also lays the foundation for an even more modern future at Hex. Here’s the story and thought-process behind our migration to DuckDB and Arrow. https://lnkd.in/gdG64vrX

Just like a chef has a variety of tools to work with in the kitchen, Hex has a variety of modalities that you can switch between — SQL, Python, spreadsheets, no-code UIs, AI assistance — to chop up and work with data. In the same place, you can fold and dig down into your dataset with whichever modality you prefer as you go. To demonstrate what this looks like, we answered the same question with three different workflows in Hex. https://lnkd.in/gC6_VWSk #analyticsworkflows #dataworkflows #dataanalysis
