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
