Sisense unveiled the public preview of Compose SDK for Fusion.
Compose SDK for Fusion is a flexible development toolkit that gives developers and product leaders tools to embed context-aware analytics in a code-first, scalable, and modular way, which accelerates the development process, reduces maintenance overhead, and saves valuable time compared to coding analytics from scratch. With over 15 years as a leader in embedded analytics, offering developers full access to their battle-proven APIs marks the beginning of a new, developer-first era for Sisense, with more developer-centric offers coming in 2024.
"Composability is not just a buzzword; it's the frontier of modern application development," says Ariel Katz, CEO at Sisense. "We believe that this new era of composable modern apps is fundamentally changing how applications are developed and delivered. Agile and modular, these apps seamlessly integrate insights data and operations at their core. At Sisense, we've been a leader in embedded analytics, and Gartner has recognized us as Magic Quadrant visionaries for the past six years. Now, we're evolving our battle-proven analytics platform to be developer-first, enabling true data insights app composition, all while maintaining our existing low and no-code capabilities. We're committed to this evolutionary journey and plan rapid advancements in our offerings in the coming months. To ensure we meet the needs of a diverse range of analytics builders, we're prepared to support the full spectrum—from no-code enthusiasts to seasoned developers, from bespoke internal apps to the most demanding customer-facing apps—thereby maintaining our leadership in the ever-changing landscape of embedded analytics within modern apps."
“Compose SDK for Fusion accelerates time to value with a modular, flexible, API-first approach built on the foundation of a complete componentized architecture. Today's developers seek greater control and integration that aligns with their unique development practices and CI/CD pipelines. This has ignited a surge in demand for developer-first analytics,” said Ayala Michelson, Chief Product Officer at Sisense. “We help developers unleash their creativity, so they can give their customers decision-making confidence through insights when and where they need them.”
Designed for developers, Compose SDK offers the following benefits:
- Dev-first approach: Enables developers to build analytical experiences into their products with intuitive components, in code, while benefiting from robust documentation, detailed examples, and helpful tools.
- Freedom to use existing tech stack: SDK libraries built to work with the tools, frameworks, and development environments already in use.
- Accelerated development time and reduced maintenance burden: Powers faster development with components purpose-built for analytics, including querying, charting, and data exploration.
Compose SDK for Fusion demo code is now available for developers to preview in Sisense’s GitHub Monorepo.
