How To Proceed With Tutorials

We designed GoodData to have a handsome UI experience, but we also know that the best way to manage the analytics platform is by code. Therefore, you can use GoodData Python SDK or open API and learn how to manage analytics with code.

UI

If you are interested in a UI experience with GoodData, you can use a deployed GoodData and play around. With UI, you will easily model data, build insights and dashboards, and create metrics.

GoodData Python SDK

If you want to learn how to manage GoodData with simple Python code, you can install GoodData Python SDK and proceed the whole tutorial within it. With GoodData Python SDK, you will easily manage workspaces, manage data sources, manage users, and build CI/CD pipelines.

If you want to proceed with Python, please install GoodData Python SDK using the pip package installer.
