Redash
Redash is an open-source, self-hosted web platform for querying data, creating visualizations, and sharing dashboards within an organization.
What Redash is
Redash is an open-source, self-hosted web platform for querying data, creating visualizations, and sharing dashboards within an organization. Its query editor includes schema browsing, autocomplete, keyboard shortcuts, and reusable snippets. Visualizations include charts, cohort views, pivot tables, boxplots, maps, counters, sankey diagrams, sunbursts, and word clouds. Dashboards can combine data from multiple sources and be shared by URL or embedded as widgets. Users can schedule result updates and set alerts for data events. Listed integrations include sources such as Amazon Athena, BigQuery, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, MongoDB, Google Analytics, Google Spreadsheets, JIRA, and Salesforce. Redash provides a REST API, plus password, Google OAuth, and SAML 2.0 authentication options. Deployment documentation covers Linux using Docker and Docker Compose. The hosted service at app.redash.io shut down effective November 30, 2021, so the listed Open source / self-hosted plan at no cost requires self-hosting.
Good
- Open-source self-hosted option costs nothing.
- Dashboards combine multiple data sources.
- Scheduled updates and alerts are supported.
- REST API access can be limited to a query.
Watch out
- Hosted service shut down November 30, 2021.
- Deployment is self-hosted on Linux.
- Larger deployments may need separate database and Redis servers.
Who it suits
Redash suits SQL users who want to explore data and share queries, visualizations, and dashboards with colleagues. It is for teams prepared to deploy and maintain a self-hosted service.
Verdict
Redash offers query, dashboard, sharing, and alerting tools for organizations that can host it themselves. The former hosted service is no longer available, so deployment and maintenance are part of choosing it.
