Periscope question: "Periscope plugs directly into your databases...."

As I understand it, Periscope is cloud based, so could you elaborate on how it might plug into large locally hosted databases, or is the caveat that my databases must also be in the cloud?



(Periscope co-founder here.)

There needs to be a route from the internet to your DB, yes. Sometimes this works because the DB is in the cloud, or sometimes a port or SSH tunnel is opened into a local network.


Ok, so you don't have to physically move you data to the cloud, it can reside locally and just be queried on demand, right?


yep
