Explore
Mesh Storage
Overview
Browse, replay, query, and connect external tools to your data lake
Once data lands in Mesh Storage, Explore is where you work with it. Five surfaces, one data lake:
- Browse: the file browser, status badges, Replay, Inspect, the ROS graph, and ROS 2 diagnostics. Best for "what's in this recording?"
- SQL Workbench: the in-app query editor. No setup, no credentials to manage. Best for ad-hoc analysis straight from the browser.
- Python SDK: upload files, query hosted SQL, list Mesh files, and download originals from Python. Best for notebooks, scripts, jobs, and services.
- Connect external tools: point DuckDB, Spark, Trino, PyIceberg, or any Iceberg REST client at your data. Best for notebooks, BI dashboards, and CI pipelines.
- MCP: connect Claude, Cursor, Codex, or another MCP-aware AI tool to your Mesh data.
All five surfaces hit the same Mesh data. A query in the SQL Workbench sees the same ingested data as a Python SDK query, and an MCP tool call sees what Browse shows.
