Evidence
An open-source framework for building data-driven reports and dashboards directly from SQL queries.
About Evidence
Evidence is an open-source, code-based analytics tool that lets you write SQL queries and turn the results into reports, dashboards, and presentations. It uses markdown files with embedded SQL to generate static HTML sites, so you version control your analysis alongside your codebase. The project was created by Evidence Dev in 2021 and has grown quickly in the data engineering community.
It connects directly to databases like Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, DuckDB, and others through a plugin system. Reports render as fast, static pages with no backend server needed once built. The framework uses Svelte for interactive components like charts and tables. You can deploy the output to Netlify, Vercel, or any static host. The whole pipeline stays in a Git repo for review and collaboration.
It is free and open source under the MIT license. The developer also offers a paid hosted version for teams that want built-in scheduling and sharing without self-hosting. It is best suited for analysts and engineers who prefer writing code and SQL over drag-and-drop BI tools. The GitHub repo has over 3,000 stars.
