Blazer is a Ruby on Rails engine that provides a simple business intelligence dashboard for exploring data with SQL. It lets users run queries, create charts and dashboards, set up checks and alerts, and share insights with their team.

Use cases

• run ad-hoc SQL queries against a database through a web UI
• create charts and dashboards from SQL queries
• set up email alerts when bad data appears
• share SQL reports with a team
• explore data across multiple databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redshift
• track and audit all queries run by users

When to choose

• you have a Rails app and want to add self-serve SQL exploration for your team
• you need lightweight business intelligence without deploying a separate BI stack
• you want scheduled checks and email alerts on data quality
• you need query auditing and permissions tied to your existing authentication

When to avoid

• your project is not Ruby on Rails
• you need a full-featured BI suite with drag-and-drop report builders
• you need to expose dashboards to non-technical users without SQL knowledge
• you cannot grant database access to a web application
