Redash is a browser-based analytics platform for querying data, creating visualisations, and sharing dashboards.
It is particularly well suited to people who work directly with SQL and other query languages. The query editor includes a schema browser, auto-completion, and reusable snippets, while its data-source architecture supports SQL and NoSQL databases, analytics platforms, APIs, and other services.
Results can be presented through charts, tables, maps, and other visualisations, then combined into dashboards. Queries can be refreshed on a schedule, alerts can monitor results for specified conditions, and dashboards can be shared with colleagues or published more widely.
This is free and open source software.
