Chartbrew transforms raw database queries and API responses into polished, shareable dashboards without requiring a data engineering team. Connect to MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firestore, or any REST API, then build datasets using the visual query editor with syntax highlighting and auto-completion. Charts render through Chart.js with line, bar, pie, donut, radar, polar, KPI card, and table visualizations, each customizable with colors, legends, filters, and goal indicators. An AI assistant accelerates dashboard creation by generating queries and suggesting chart configurations from natural language descriptions of the metrics you want to track. Reusable datasets let teams prepare data transformations once and share them across multiple charts, while automatic scheduling through BullMQ and Redis refreshes data at intervals from every 10 minutes to monthly. The embed feature generates standalone chart URLs for insertion into external websites, internal tools, or customer portals, and the Reporting API enables programmatic dashboard management and automated report delivery. Team workspaces with role-based permissions control who can view, edit, or manage data connections. Nearly 4,000 GitHub stars reflect steady community adoption. The platform runs on Node.js with Express and Sequelize ORM, supporting MySQL or PostgreSQL as its application database. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. FSL-1.1-MIT licensed (converts to MIT two years after each release).

Frappe Insights delivers a self-hosted business intelligence platform where non-technical users build complex analytical queries without writing SQL. The visual query builder uses Ibis under the hood to compose optimized SQL from drag-and-drop column selections, filters, aggregations, and group-by operations — translating point-and-click interactions into performant database queries across MySQL, PostgreSQL, DuckDB, and BigQuery. The join editor provides a graphical interface for defining multi-table relationships, letting analysts connect data across schemas without understanding foreign keys or join types. The chart builder renders interactive visualizations using Apache eCharts with support for bar, line, area, pie, scatter, funnel, and pivot table chart types — each configurable with axes, colors, legends, and formatting options. Dashboards combine multiple charts into shareable views with layout customization, auto-refresh intervals, and filter propagation across widgets. Data source management handles connection pooling across multiple databases simultaneously, enabling cross-database analysis in single queries. Server scripts extend query capabilities with custom Python transformations for complex business logic that visual tools cannot express. Built on the Frappe Framework's full-stack architecture, deployment uses Docker via the official easy-install script that provisions the complete stack including MariaDB, Redis, and Nginx. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
