Link was designed to deal with the growing number of databases, apis and environments needed to grow a technology and a team. Link provides a simple way to configure and connect to all of these different technologies.

Goals:

• Create an easy and simple development environment and process
• Make configuration easy for complex environments
• Allow people wrap their own apis, dbs, and other pieces of the system and plug them into link

Here is an example of grabbing data from a database and turning it into an dataframe:

In [1]: from link import lnk

In [2]: my_db = lnk.dbs.my_db

In [3]: df = my_db.select('select * from my_table').as_dataframe()

<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
Int64Index: 325 entries, 0 to 324
Data columns:
id               325  non-null values
user_id          323  non-null values
app_id           325  non-null values
name             325  non-null values
body             325  non-null values
created          324  non-null values
dtypes: float64(2), int64(3), object(4)
