What is it?

Redash is a web application that lets people connect to a wide range of databases and platforms, write queries, and turn the results into charts and dashboards. Users work entirely in the browser, and query editing includes a schema browser and auto-complete for SQL and NoSQL queries.

Visualizations can be assembled with drag and drop and combined into a single dashboard. Queries and charts can be shared with colleagues, charts can refresh on a schedule, and alerts can fire when data meets defined conditions. Everything available in the UI is also exposed through a REST API.

Redash ships with built-in support for more than 35 SQL and NoSQL sources, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, ClickHouse, and MongoDB, and its data source API can be extended to add more.
