Hello my fellow HNers, this is the creator here. After continuing to write boilerplate code to connect multiple data sources together I finally decided to take a more platform-driven approach and came up with a way that I could continue to add more integrations in a scalable way. This API is the result of that effort.

Let me know what you think. I am by no means a copywriting expert so can add videos, and better explanations, but added a demo section here if you want to play around with it: https://www.usesql.com/demo

Hey Dylan, looks interesting.

A few questions:

- What SQL dialect is being used?

- Does a query execution download all the data from the remote source, and does it cache it for the next run?

- How do indexes and sub selects work?

- How does data protection work, does all data pass through your server?
