Evidence is an open-source business intelligence framework that lets you build interactive data reports and dashboards using SQL and Markdown, compiled into a fast static site. It serves as a code-based alternative to drag-and-drop BI tools and supports self-hosting or publishing to Evidence Studio.

Use cases

• build interactive dashboards from SQL queries
• create data reports in markdown with charts
• self-host a BI tool instead of paying for drag-and-drop BI
• version-control analytics reports in git
• explore data with SQL and share results as a website
• build analytics pages with dbt models

When to choose

• your team prefers code-based, version-controlled analytics over GUI BI tools
• you want to self-host dashboards as a static site
• you write SQL and want charts with minimal setup
• you want AI agents to author or maintain analytics

When to avoid

• you need drag-and-drop dashboard building for non-technical users
• you need real-time streaming dashboards rather than compiled reports
• you want a full managed BI suite without any code
