Ask your BigQuery warehouse anything

A warehouse is only useful to the people who can query it. Aten lets anyone on the team ask in plain language and get a chart back, without filing a request or learning SQL.

Connect with your Google account — there are no service-account keys to generate and pass around.

Aten queries your BigQuery tables where they live. No extract, no sync, no duplicate copy of your warehouse sitting somewhere else getting stale.

You keep one source of truth, and the answer you get reflects what is in the warehouse right now.

Queries run through Aten’s read-only connection path, and only read statements are accepted. You choose which tables are visible, and access can be revoked from your Google account at any time.

The Google consent screen asks for the full BigQuery scope rather than the read-only one. That is a constraint of Google’s API — running any query requires a permission the read-only scope does not grant. We explain exactly why on the security page rather than leaving you to find it on the consent screen.

Warehouse questions are the ones most likely to end up in a board deck, which makes verification worth more than speed. Every answer Aten gives comes with the SQL behind it, so any figure can be checked against the source.
