Show IH: On-demand Data from Web Services, Right in your Spreadsheet

Sure -- maybe my first pivot should be including the URL :/ (thank you for posting that!)

• Pivot. We were originally creating a niche serverless tool for developers that focused on out-of-the-box connectivity to web services, but proved unwieldy and not differentiated enough from all the other serverless behemoths. Through that beta, we discovered a compelling use case focusing on the spreadsheet endpoint (as opposed to API endpoint). So, retooled a bit to put the same engine to work but focused exclusively on spreadsheet add-ons. The conceit is simply that there is a lot data available to devs via API, but rarely available in the same way to biz users.

• Technical. Functions are executed in a container environment in an EC2 cluster.

• Per using pricing. Presume you mean as opposed to a per execution model? While I think this is a good serverless model for devs via api endpoint, the ultimate 'user' of the app is a business user and the per-user/team model seems to be a better fit (i.e., in the same way that Dropbox doesn't charge per KB). Was I presuming correctly or where you thinking of a different model?

Thanks for the comment and questions (and link!).

Thanks so much! Your SQL plug-in sounds great and the sheets add-on you pointed to looks very cool. We've seen a few folks pop up that are trying similar things in slightly different ways, as the nocode movement appears to be having its time in the sun.

Thanks also for the note on language :) "Enrichment" comes more from sale/mktg (populate lead data with more information), but I can see how that may be overly used/confusing. I'll take a look a through and try to simplify things. Thnx again.
