Hosting and Architecture Overview
The SaaS solution is hosted in the Analytics Cloud Google Cloud Platform following multi-layer secured architecture. Our cloud environments have passed strict security controls and is also used by our Government clients and large enterprises.
The web servers are run behind Web Application Firewall and Network Security Groups. A Kubernetes cluster is used to host Auto Insights services to ensure high availability.
Auto Insights data is stored in cloud-managed MySQL Databases and on encrypted disks. The different applications of Auto Insights communicate with each other over encrypted channels using standardised protocols.
Details of data encryption can be found here and data segregation can be found here.
Ingestion and Data Structure
There are 3 ways data can be ingested into Auto Insights :
Alteryx Designer via the Auto Insights Uploader: this enables users to surface insights directly from existing workflows. More information on how to ingest data via Designer can be found here.
Database connection: Auto Insights can connect to common databases such as MYSQL, MS SQL, POSTGRES, and Snowflake. More information on how to connect via the database can be found here.
CSV upload: users can drag and drop a CSV or ZIP file into Auto Insights to surface insights for ad hoc analysis. More information on how to upload CSV data can be found here.
The data structure that works best in is structured, transactional, time-series data (uncovering changes, patterns, anomalies, and 'what caused this). Auto Insights does not currently work with unstructured or geospatial data.
The data we fetch is stored on encrypted mounted disks in a secure network location. It is then lightly cleansed and loaded into Auto Insights' own Analytics (OLAP) database. Auto Insights does not create new data or edit or delete existing data in your databases or CSV files. In addition, Auto Insights does not compute directly in your databases or data sources. Computation is carried out within the software itself.
