Efficient SQL behind every query
Cubes and extracts are answers to questions you already had.
The compiler turns each question into a fast SQL statement that runs against your live tables.
The warehouse works less
The compiler resolves only the metrics, joins, and filters a question asks for, pushes the filters down into the SQL, and prunes every join the question doesn't need.
A question against a hundred-table model scans only what that question needs.

Aggregates accelerate any query
Your team defines a pre-aggregate and materializes it in your own warehouse, refreshed by your own ETL.
The compiler applies a pre-aggregate where it fits: to a whole question, to one subtotal branch of a pivot, or to the numerator of a ratio while the denominator comes from source.
Every query is on the record
Every request lands in query history with its runtime, its warehouse query ID, and the user and domain behind it, so spend traces back to a question someone asked.
A slow report gets a diagnosis. Its record shows whether a pre-aggregate was used - and when none was, where the next one should go.
