The full journey of an Insight Cloud app: from SBT build, to install, to a running dashboard.

App & Data Lifecycle

Set up SBT and build your app’s models, sources, and configuration locally.

Building Apps

Seek Build Tools (SBT) is a framework that empowers data scientists and analysts to design, develop, and deploy complete data science workflows, from data ingestion to interactive visualization, within a single project. Once completed, the project can be deployed to Insight Cloud, Seek's cloud-based analytics platform, where users can securely run your app with their own data.

Seek Build Tools (SBT) Overview


Install SBT step by step on any OS and verify it works. One-time setup per computer.

Setting Up SBT

Build and run your first complete app with SBT: three tiny tables, two models, one app. Every step verified on SBT 1.0.10.

Quickstart

Reference for the sbtconf.toml project config file: what's in it, how to add environments, how to switch between them, and how to keep it safe.

Configuring Your Project (sbtconf.toml)

A model consists of code that populates a single table or view, along with metadata properties that define how your users can interact with the model.

Models

How freshness settings and shared models reduce redundant app runs and compute costs.

Model Reuse: Freshness and Shared Models

Sources

Schemas

Reusable helper queries and the run context (the seek object) your model code receives at runtime.

Helpers & the Run Context

Apps

SBT Command References

Connect app data to Sigma dashboards and visualizations.

Visualizing

Now that you have built an app that processes consumer data and generates some sort of output tables, you can add data visualizations to your app.

Data Visualizations with Sigma

Publish apps to Insight Cloud, install them into organizations, and set up variants.

Publishing & Installing

What must be in place in Snowflake and your SBT project before an app can install and run successfully.

Prerequisites for App Installs

App Publishing Lifecycle

App Context is the semantic model that lets the Intelligence tool understand an app's data output, so it can answer questions and write accurate SQL.

App Context

How app runs and permissions work, current known issues, and how to report problems.

Running & Troubleshooting

Plain-language guide to the Sync Engine: declared vs observed, the four states, when it acts, and the blind spot behind install failures.

The Sync Engine

First-line triage for app install and run failures: the grant chain, symptom-to-owner table, and how to file an issue.

Troubleshooting App Installs & Runs

Current known issues affecting app installs and runs, and how to report problems so they get triaged fast.

Known Issues & How to Report a Problem

This page is a high level overview of what it takes to migrate SBT BETA apps to SBT 1.0 apps.

SBT 1.0 App Migration Guide

The Sync Engine Visualizer shows you what the sync engine believes about every org: which Snowflake and Sigma resources it thinks exist, which it thinks are healthy, and which it knows have failed. This article explains how to read it, what every button does, and, just as importantly, what it cannot tell you.
