AI Data Analyst

Open-source data distribution platform for AI analytical systems. Extracts data from sources into DuckDB, serves via FastAPI, and distributes parquets to analysts who use Claude Code for local analysis.

First-Time Setup

When a user opens this project for the first time, guide them through interactive setup:

Step 1: Gather Information

Ask the user for:

1. Company domain (e.g., "acme.com") - used for Google OAuth
2. Data source type: keboola / bigquery / csv
3. Instance name (e.g., "Acme Data Analyst")

Step 2: Generate Configuration

1. Copy config/instance.yaml.example to config/instance.yaml
2. Fill in values from Step 1
3. If Keboola: ask for Storage API token, stack URL, project ID
4. Create .env from config/.env.template

Step 3: Register Tables

1. Use the FastAPI admin API (POST /api/admin/tables/{id}) or webapp UI to register tables
2. Tables are stored in DuckDB table_registry with source_type, bucket, source_table, query_mode
3. For migration from old format: python scripts/migrate_registry_to_duckdb.py

Step 4: Docker Deployment

docker compose up          # Start app + scheduler
docker compose --profile full up  # Include telegram bot

Architecture: extract.duckdb Contract

Every data source produces the same output:

/data/extracts/{source_name}/
├── extract.duckdb          ← _meta table + views
└── data/                   ← parquet files (local sources only)

The SyncOrchestrator scans /data/extracts/*/extract.duckdb, ATTACHes each into master analytics.duckdb, and creates views.

          (serve)    (da sync)   (dashboard)

Three source types:

• Batch pull (Keboola): DuckDB extension downloads to parquet, scheduled
• Remote attach (BigQuery): DuckDB BQ extension, no download, queries go to BQ
• Real-time push (Jira): Webhooks update parquets incrementally

Configuration

Instance-specific config: config/instance.yaml (see example). Environment variables: .env (never committed). Table definitions: DuckDB table_registry table in system.duckdb.

Development

# Setup
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run FastAPI locally
uvicorn app.main:app --reload

# Run legacy Flask webapp
flask --app webapp.app run --debug

# Run tests
pytest tests/ -v

# Trigger sync manually
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/sync/trigger

# Docker
docker compose up

Extensibility

Data Sources (extract.duckdb contract)

New connector = connectors/<name>/extractor.py producing extract.duckdb + data/. Must create _meta table with columns: table_name, description, rows, size_bytes, extracted_at, query_mode. Orchestrator ATTACHes it automatically.

Authentication

Pluggable auth providers in auth/:

• Google (google): OAuth via Google
• Email (email): Email magic link (itsdangerous token)
• Password (password): Username/password
• Desktop (desktop): JWT for API
• New provider = auth/<name>/provider.py implementing AuthProvider

Key Implementation Details

DuckDB Schema (src/db.py)

• Schema v2 with auto-migration from v1
• table_registry: id, name, source_type, bucket, source_table, query_mode, sync_schedule, etc.
• sync_state, sync_history: track extraction progress
• users, dataset_permissions, audit_log: auth + RBAC
• System DB at {DATA_DIR}/state/system.duckdb
• Analytics DB at {DATA_DIR}/analytics/server.duckdb

SyncOrchestrator (src/orchestrator.py)

• rebuild(): scans extracts dir, ATTACHes all, creates master views, updates sync_state
• rebuild_source(name): single source (used after Jira webhooks)
• Thread-safe via _rebuild_lock

Connector Pattern

• Keboola: connectors/keboola/extractor.py uses DuckDB Keboola extension, fallback to client.py
• BigQuery: connectors/bigquery/extractor.py uses DuckDB BQ extension (remote-only, no download)
• Jira: connectors/jira/webhook.py → incremental_transform.py → extract_init.py updates _meta
• connectors/keboola/client.py: legacy Keboola Storage API wrapper (kept as fallback)

Config Loading

1. config/loader.py loads instance.yaml
2. app/instance_config.py exposes get_data_source_type(), get_value()
3. Table config lives in DuckDB table_registry (not markdown files)

Files NOT to modify (stable infrastructure)

• connectors/jira/file_lock.py - Advisory file locking
• connectors/jira/transform.py - Core Jira transform logic
• services/ws_gateway/ - WebSocket notification gateway
