Rig vs. Claude Code

    Vibe code your data context
    or try Rig's managed solution

    Claude Code lets you vibe code your data context from scratch. Rig builds it for you and keeps it fresh as your schema changes.

    Can you vibe code your data context?

    Yes. Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal. It reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands, and ships. It suits engineers who want to build custom things. Shipping the first version of a vibe coded feature is easy, but building systems that understand and maintain data context is hard, and Rig builds and maintains that context.

    Already using Claude Code? Connect Rig via MCP and give it business context that understands your data, with sandbox validation and RBAC built in. See how Rig MCP works

    Maintaining context in Claude means that you'll need to:

    • →Manually define semantic relationships between tables
    • →Encode business logic and metric definitions your model can reason over
    • →Build and tune agent orchestration so queries don't spiral into nonsense
    • →Implement confidence scoring so you know when to trust the output
    • →Stand up query sandboxing, RBAC, and audit logging yourself
    • →Write warehouse connectors for every source
    • →Keep documentation in sync as things drift
    • →Do all of it again next quarter when your data model evolves

    Why teams choose Rig instead

    Business context that builds itself from your schema without manual mapping

    Automatically detects schema drift, from dropped columns to new enum values, and auto-updates so the context never goes stale

    Build automations that close the loop: update your CRM, trigger Slack alerts, generate board-ready reports

    Enterprise-grade governance from day one: sandboxed queries, role-based-access-control, and a full audit trail

    Reliable data for anyone on your team in their existing AI tools like Claude Code

    FeatureRigVibe coded (with Claude Code)
    SetupConnect your warehouse, let Rig Map build, then start asking questionsBuild a text-to-SQL pipeline, prompt layer, and semantic model from scratch, and then maintain it
    GovernanceBuilt-in sandbox, audit trail, and permissions so users and agents only access the data they are allowed to from day oneDesign and enforce query sandboxing, permission scoping, and audit logging yourself, across every agent, user, and endpoint
    Keeping context currentRig Map detects schema drift and updates itself when your warehouse changesFor every schema change, someone needs to catch it, fix the mappings, and re-validate for every sprint, indefinitely
