Redash

Query your databases, turn the results into charts and share live dashboards with your whole team.

Redash is built around a straightforward idea: people who know SQL should be able to ask a question of their data and share the answer instantly. You write a query against a connected source, pick a visualization, and drop it onto a dashboard that anyone in the company can open in a browser.

Connect almost anything

It ships with connectors for a long list of databases and services — relational engines, data warehouses, document stores and even some APIs — so analysts can combine information from several places. Queries can be refreshed on a schedule, parameterised for interactive filtering, and wired to alerts that notify you when a number crosses a threshold.

  • Collaborative SQL editor with query snippets and history
  • Many chart types plus pivot tables and maps
  • Dashboards that refresh automatically
  • Alerts through email, Slack and webhooks

It is a lightweight, self-hostable option for teams that do not need the weight of a full enterprise BI suite.
