Best SQL IDEs

Galaxy is the Cursor for SQL, empowering modern data practitioners. Today’s data stack is scattered, with engineers using outdated tools like DataGrip or TablePlus, analysts relying on clunky BI platforms like Metabase or Tableau, and teams wasting hours writing repetitive workflows to bridge the gaps. This fragmentation leads to inefficiencies: engineers become analytics support, analysts begging engineers to rewrite and update queries, and companies overspend on siloed tools. Galaxy changes the game by unifying querying, visualization, and automation into one developer-first platform built for the AI era. Combining the power of tools like DataGrip, Metabase, Cursor, and Postman, Galaxy empowers engineers and analysts to collaborate seamlessly, reduce redundancy, and get everyone on the same page with data—efficiently and effortlessly.
