Coral + Python: Building Cross-Tool Intelligence Systems with SQL

General Python, Web/DevOps Short Talk - 30 mins Intermediate Level

Abstract

Most incident investigations require jumping between 5+ tools: GitHub, Sentry,
Slack, Vercel, monitoring dashboards. That's fragmented, slow, and error-prone.

What if you could write ONE SQL query that JOINs across all of them?

Coral is a runtime that treats your tools as queryable tables. No ETL, no data
warehouse, no credential sharing—just SQL over APIs.

In this talk, I'll share:

  • What Coral is and why it matters (SQL over APIs without the complexity)
  • How Reef works: A production incident intelligence agent I built during the
    Coral hackathon that correlates GitHub, Sentry, Slack, and Vercel in one query
  • Practical Python patterns: How to integrate Coral into your own projects
  • Real-world examples: Incident investigation, alerting, monitoring, data
    pipelines

By the end, you'll understand how to expand Python's capabilities by leveraging
specialized tools that integrate seamlessly into your workflows.

Perfect for: Python developers managing complex tool stacks, backend engineers
building data pipelines, anyone tired of writing custom API integration code.
