Saiku Cloud

Quickstart

This is the fastest path from sign-up to a working cube in Saiku Cloud. Five steps, roughly five minutes.

Prerequisites

  • A Postgres, Snowflake, BigQuery, ClickHouse, or MotherDuck warehouse with read access for a service user. (If you don’t have one, you can upload a file instead.)
  • A web browser. That’s it.

Five steps

  1. Sign up. Go to cloud.saiku.bi and create an account. We’ll provision your tenant, a default workspace, and an initial API key on your behalf.

  2. Connect a warehouse. Open Connections in the sidebar and click Add connection. Pick your dialect, fill in the details, and click Test connection. Once the test passes, click Save.

  3. Draft a cube. Open the Schema designer. Pick your warehouse and the table that holds your facts. Type a one-line description of the cube you want (e.g. “revenue and order count by region and date”). Claude proposes a Mondrian cube; you review measures, dimensions, and joins inline.

  4. Save the schema. Once the proposal looks right, click Render XML then Save schema. The cube appears on the Schemas page and is ready to query.

  5. Query the cube. Open Analyze and click Open in Saiku on your new cube. You land in the Saiku UI with the cube preloaded — drag dimensions and measures onto rows and columns, save the workbook, share with teammates.
