Central Set (CS)
Central Set is a configuration-driven data platform & Admin UI written in Golang.
It unifies application management, databases, users, roles, ETL workflows, dashboards, and analytics into a single system — driven by metadata instead of custom code.
What is Central Set?
Central Set acts as a control plane for data-driven applications:
- Manage applications, schemas, and databases
- Configure CRUD UIs and admin workflows
- Build and run ETLX data pipelines
- Expose data via APIs (REST-ish, OData v4, Arrow Flight)
- Enforce access control, row-level security, and governance
- Create dashboards and reports using Markdown + DuckDB-WASM (evidence.dev style)
All of this is defined using configuration, not hard-coded logic.

Philosophy
Configuration is the product.
Code executes it.
Central Set is designed to scale governance, analytics, and automation without multiplying services or frameworks.
