Welcome to AtScale’s Developer Community
The AtScale Developer Community brings together data engineers, BI professionals, and analytics innovators who want to make data faster, more consistent, and more trustworthy.

Start building your Semantic Models with our free tools and resources
What is Semantic Modeling Language?
Semantic Modeling Language (SML) is an open-source, YAML-based standard for defining semantic models that work across BI and AI tools.
Why it matters:
- Define metrics and dimensions once, reuse them everywhere
- Human-readable, code-friendly, and version-controlled in Git
- Supports complex analytics (hierarchies, relationships, custom measures) Open and extensible for any business logic
AtScale Developer Edition
The Developer Edition is your free, hands-on sandbox for building semantic models with AtScale. Perfect for learning, prototyping, and experimenting.
Why it matters:
- Free for community use (up to 500 queries/month)
- Build models with code-first (SML) or no-code interfaces
- Connect live to BI tools like Tableau, Power BI, Excel, and Looker
- Share and collaborate on models with the community
- Connect live to one data source (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery)
