Business intelligence as code: build fast, interactive data visualizations in SQL and markdown
npm install evidence
[!TIP] Try Evidence Studio: The new, faster way to build data products with SQL, markdown and AI.
How It Works
Evidence is an open-source, code-based alternative to drag-and-drop business intelligence tools.
Evidence generates a website from markdown files:
- SQL statements inside markdown files run queries against your data sources
- Charts and components are rendered using these query results
- Templated pages generate many pages from a single markdown template
- Loops and If / Else statements allow control of what is displayed to users
Install
- Download the Evidence VSCode Extension
- Open the Command Palette (F1) and enter
Evidence: New Evidence Project - Click the Start Evidence button in the bottom status bar
See docs for other install options (CLI, Docker, etc)
Publish
- Self-hosted options include Netlify, Vercel, your own infra, and other static site hosting platforms.
