Blazer Rails Engine Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Is Tableau Dead?

  I try to avoid these tools wherever possible, given the choice I'd always go for tools like Blazer. https://github.com/ankane/blazer No such luck in my current role, Looker and PowerBI are both in use by different bits of the org and nobody has the ability to delve into the underlying figures. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• BI vs custom queries in app

  As u/jaxn said you could use Blazer for this kind of thing. I would also look into materialized views or custom tables and a scheduled job that calculates the metrics they care about. That will take you a long way. Eventually you can use something like Metabase but I would put that off for as long as possible as it's really expensive and pretty involved.

• Evidence – Business Intelligence as Code

  And it's Open Source: https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence if you are into the Ruby on Rails world. It's super solid, and it's been an indispensable tool integrated to all my projects. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Italian watchdog bans use of Google Analytics

  I use Ahoy too, but I don't have very good visibility into the data. I should spend more time building queries and creating charts. I should probably set up blazer as well: https://github.com/ankane/blazer. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Using Scientist to Refactor Critical Ruby on Rails Code

  The Blazer gem provides a nice way to analyze the results easily. It is simple to install and allows SQL queries to run against tables. The query here shows that the candidate implementation is significantly faster than the original. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• How to let users run scripts on their data?

  There is nothing wrong with it. In Ruby on Rails, for example, you can use a gem for such a case https://github.com/ankane/blazer. Source: about 3 years ago

• Cookie-based tracking is dead

  I did server-side tracking test in a rails app, where I implemented a tracking gem called ahoy and blazer for visualization. It is very easy to set up, but a bit hard to use. Blazer can do a very basic visualization of the data if you know your SQL queries. - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago

• Rails application boilerplate for fast MVP development

  Ahoy, ahoy_email and blazer for business intelligence. - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago

• Building a data team at a mid-stage startup

  Blazer is my go-to for this kind of thing: https://github.com/ankane/blazer Pretty easy to set up and share queries, dashboards, whatever. - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• Show HN: Django SQL Dashboard

  Seems nice. And, if you are in the Ruby (on Rails) ecosystem, I can highly recommend Blazer https://github.com/ankane/blazer. - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• The Ruby Unbundled Series: Track How Customers Use New Features

  Ahoy is used to track visits to your site and specific user events that you define. Blazer allows you to easily query and view the metrics data. In fact, blazer can be used to query any data in your database, and it has some nice built-in visualization capabilities for metrics as well. - Source: dev.to / about 4 years ago
