This same client is a bit of a penny-pincher.

Are there any plans to open this up so we could host the infrastructure and then pull a SQL import dump or something along those lines after running the CLI part? This would reduce your ongoing costs to reduce our monthly fee? ($130 would be a very tough sell, even though I think the business value is there.)

Hey!

So we are soon introducing the Firehose API. Basically this allows you to point at an arbitrary database and fill it up with as much data as you need from the model.

The Firehose should work for use-case and be much more cost effective.

A more hacky solution for right now, you can spin up a database and run a `select * ...`.

That's perfect! I'll keep an eye out for that.

If you can't wait, you can always run `synth model sample <model-id> --ouput <some-directory> --sample-size <number-of-rows>` which will generate synthetic data directly into your directory as CSV files. You can then ETL that into your database.

Hope this helps :)
