Falcon
Falcon is ThoughtSpot's proprietary in-memory database that exists as part of your cluster. Its speed allowed our users to be able to analyze along any dimension without there being any time penalty, giving them a free reign to do any kind of analysis. This data store has been the backbone of many of our long-term customers.
This database is only available for data insertion if you operate on the Software version of the product, and are not using Embrace Connections to a cloud-native data store.
