Evidence
Open source, code-based alternative to drag-and-drop BI tools.

Evidence is an open-source business intelligence framework that lets data teams build polished, interactive data products using SQL and markdown instead of drag-and-drop interfaces. It includes a browser-based IDE with AI-assisted development, real-time syntax validation, and version control support. An enterprise tier adds a managed query engine with high-performance columnar storage, row-level security, SSO, and SOC 2 compliance.
Users write SQL queries and markdown in a browser-based IDE to compose interactive data visualizations and reports, which can be published internally, shared with customers, or embedded in applications.
