Thanks for the response!

With data sources, I mean if you have multiple services/products delivering data (e.g. an analytics platform, a CRM, all hosted on different servers).

> uxwizz, and a quick perusal of their documentation did not turn up how one goes about connecting to the underlying DB

UXWizz is self-hosted, so you just have a basic MySQL/MariaDB database that you have full control over (so you can connect remotely with the host/db/username/password you create). This is the database structure: https://docs.uxwizz.com/guides/database-querying

> you have one big data table you might still find it useful to have declarative metric definitions defined in Metricflow

Oh, so this is like saving queries? Why would I write the MetricFlow config instead of saving the SQL query directly? I had look over https://docs.transform.co/docs/metricflow/guides/introductio... but I found the concepts and config file a bit hard to understand (but maybe I'm not in the target audience).
