Getting data out of your system and into a format that is usable for technical and business decisions is critical. Avoiding development cycles for this kind of work is helpful as it lets you treat your data as a playground where you can explore and gain insights.
I have used Metabase as my go to reporting package. Setting it up with read-only access to production database means you can access your information and be confident you aren’t going to accidentally harm the production environment. At that point, developers and technically inclined business admins can access the entire system.
Metabase is a tool that lets you build charts, graphs, and pull metrics without requiring new development. This gives flexibility to the business to make decisions more quickly and respond to changes with confidence.
