Overview
Redash connects to data sources such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redshift, BigQuery and MongoDB, and lets users write SQL queries against them in a browser-based editor with schema browsing and saved snippets. Query results can be turned into visualisations, arranged on dashboards by drag and drop, refreshed on a schedule and shared with a team or publicly.
