What is Redash?

Redash is an open-source tool for exploring, querying, visualising and sharing data in your browser. Its README lists a query editor with auto-complete, drag-and-drop charts, shareable dashboards, scheduled refreshes, alerts and support for more than 35 SQL and NoSQL data sources.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Redash does well

  • Turn a database query into a shareable chart
  • Refresh dashboards on a schedule and get alerts
  • Works with many common databases

Cons: where it falls short

  • You need to know a little SQL
  • You host it yourself

Who Redash is for

Teams who want shared, always-up-to-date reports from their own data.

Who can skip it

People who never work with databases.
