- I am not really familiar with Anaplan. You could probably compare them, but as far as I understand Anaplan is a more specialized (planning) tool.
- Egeria is a database itself. I use Sqlite as a key value store for persistence now. I will probably use Mongo in production.
- I will provide a command line tool to automate import and export with ETL tools in CSV format first. A better integration with relational databases would probably come later on.
- All formulas are computed on the server, so users don't run them. Only superusers/designers will be able to change formulas. A normal user will only be able to enter values and change metadata. The concurrency is implemented using locks and in-memory data structures on the server. Open two tabs on the same sheet and try changing values in one of the tabs to see how it works.
