Business Intelligence as Code: Generate reports using SQL and markdown

Docs | Examples | Cloud | Slack

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

1. Download the Evidence VSCode Extension
2. Open the Command Palette (F1) and enter Evidence: New Evidence Project
3. Click the Start Evidence button in the bottom status bar

See docs for other install options (CLI, Docker, etc)

Publish

• Evidence Cloud is the easiest way to securely host your app. It's free to get started.
• Self-hosted options include Netlify, Vercel, your own infra, and other static site hosting platforms.
