The Case for Zero Data Movement
Domo requires moving, storing, and duplicating your data into their proprietary cloud. Arcli queries your data where it already lives—prioritizing security and your freedom.

Reclaiming Your Data Gravity
Domo operates as an ingest-heavy platform, creating a secondary copy of your source-of-truth which introduces compliance risk, sync delays, and high egress fees. Arcli relies entirely on **push-down compute** and a **zero-data-movement architecture**. As a stateless **conversational analytics** layer, Arcli securely queries your existing Snowflake, BigQuery, or Postgres warehouse and returns only the final visualization, drastically reducing **vendor lock-in**.

Expert Insights
Everything you need to know about implementing Arcli's engine into your stack.
If Arcli doesn't store data, how does it process large queries?
Arcli writes optimized SQL and sends it to your database. Your database (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery) performs the heavy computation; Arcli retrieves only the small, aggregated result to render the chart in your browser.
Does Arcli offer ETL capabilities like Domo?
No. We believe ETL is best handled by purpose-built tools (Fivetran, dbt) running within your own secure environment. Arcli is strictly a visualization and AI analysis layer.
