FIWARE Data Access is part of the FIWARE ecosystem and designed to expose analytical data through reusable and parameterized APIs. It provides an efficient, open-source solution for storing and querying datasets in object storage, replacing the legacy Pentaho CDA extension in smart city stacks.
Every dataset tells a story. Some are just stored in Parquet.
