Open Source Ruby Database Software

Grafana OSS is a leading open-source visualization and observability platform that lets you query, visualize, alert on, and explore your data—regardless of where it’s stored. With support for 100+ data source plugins (such as Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, SQL/NoSQL databases, OTel, and more), you can unify metrics, logs, traces, and other observability signals in one place. Grafana OSS empowers you to build dynamic, reusable dashboards with rich visualizations, template variables, interactive filtering, and cross-panel linking. Its Explore mode enables ad-hoc queries and side-by-side comparisons of time ranges, queries, and data sources. Grafana also includes built-in alerting, allowing you to define threshold-based rules and send notifications to external systems (e.g. Slack, PagerDuty, OpsGenie). Backed by a strong community (https://grafana.com/community/) and open governance, Grafana OSS is free to use, modify, and deploy under the AGPL-3.0 license.

Blazer is a business-intelligence engine for Rails that lets teams write SQL in the browser, visualize the results, and share insights without leaving their app. It turns raw database queries into charts, tables, and dashboards, so non-engineers can explore data with minimal friction. Queries can accept parameters, enabling reusable reports for different time ranges, segments, or customers. Access controls and audit trails help teams manage who can run, edit, or view sensitive analyses. Scheduled checks and alerts turn BI into proactive monitoring by notifying you when metrics cross thresholds or regress. Because it’s a Rails engine, it integrates into your app’s authentication, layouts, and deployment workflows, reducing the overhead of maintaining a separate BI stack.
