What is a Source?

A source is where Galdera gets its raw data. Before you can forecast anything, you need to connect a data source so the platform knows what numbers to work with.

Galdera supports these source types:

  • CSV/Excel -- Upload a file directly from your computer. Best for one-time imports or data exported from other tools such as an ERP or accounting system.
  • Databricks Open Sharing (formerly Delta Sharing) -- Connect to a table shared from Databricks. Best for ongoing data that is already in your data platform.
  • Snowflake -- Connect to a Snowflake table or view with a Galdera-managed key pair and read-only service user.

Each source creates measures (the numeric values you'll forecast, like Revenue or Units Sold) and dimensions (the categories you can slice by, like Region or Product Line).
