Turn any data source into shareable visual insights
Redash lets users query, visualize, and share data from 35+ sources via a browser UI, with dashboards, alerts, scheduling, and a REST API for collaborative, data‑driven decision making.
Redash is a browser‑based analytics platform that enables analysts, data engineers, and business users to explore and visualize data without mastering complex BI tools. By connecting to more than 35 native SQL and NoSQL data sources—including PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, and Elasticsearch—users can write queries with schema browsing and autocomplete, then instantly turn results into charts.
Visualizations are built with drag‑and‑drop editors and can be assembled into shareable dashboards that refresh on a schedule you define. Alerts trigger Slack, email, or webhook notifications when query results meet defined conditions. All UI actions are also exposed via a comprehensive REST API for automation and embedding. Redash can be self‑hosted using Docker, or launched quickly with pre‑configured AWS and GCE images, giving teams full control over security and scaling.
The platform encourages collaboration through URL‑based sharing, peer review of queries, and versioned dashboards, making it suitable for organizations that need a flexible, open‑source solution to become data‑driven.
When teams consider Redash, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Ad‑hoc SQL reporting
Team members run queries across warehouses and instantly share charts via URLs.
