Perspective is an interactive analytics and data visualization component for large, real-time, and streaming datasets, built around a high-performance streaming query engine written in C++/Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, Python, Node.js, and Rust. It ships a web-component UI with an editable data grid, WebGL charts, and geographic maps, plus a symmetric client/server API over WebSocket or in-process bindings.

Use cases

• build interactive dashboards for streaming data
• visualize large datasets in the browser
• explore data in Jupyter notebooks
• create user-configurable reports and BI views
• stream server-side data to a virtualized browser grid
• render real-time charts with WebGL

When to choose

• you need real-time analytics over large or streaming datasets
• you want a embeddable, user-configurable grid and chart UI
• you need the same API in Python, JavaScript, and Rust
• you want in-browser analytics via WebAssembly without a backend

When to avoid

• you need static one-off charts in a simple report
• you require a full enterprise BI suite with scheduling and access control
• your datasets are small and a simple plotting library suffices
