Shaper is an open-source, SQL-first data visualization application powered by DuckDB that lets users build dashboards, reports, and data exports by writing SQL queries. It supports embedded analytics via JS/React SDKs, JWT-based row-level security, scheduled PDF/PNG/CSV/Excel reports, and a Git-based workflow where dashboards are defined as code.

Use cases

  • build analytics dashboards by writing SQL queries
  • embed customer-facing analytics into my product without iframes
  • generate scheduled PDF and Excel reports from data
  • query data across Postgres, S3, and Google Sheets with DuckDB
  • self-host a lightweight BI tool in a single Docker container
  • version-control dashboards as SQL code in Git
  • share password-protected dashboard links with customers
  • restrict dashboard data per user with row-level security

When to choose

  • you want SQL-first dashboards without a heavy traditional BI tool
  • you need embedded, white-labeled analytics in your own product
  • you want dashboards as auditable code in Git with no vendor lock-in
  • you prefer self-hosting and keeping data in your own infrastructure
  • you need automated report generation and scheduled alerts

When to avoid

  • you need drag-and-drop visual dashboard building without writing SQL
  • you require a full enterprise BI suite with extensive governance features out of the box
  • your team has no SQL skills at all
  • you need a fully managed SaaS with no self-hosting involvement
