DepressionCenter/datalavista: DataLaVista v0.2-beta

🕶️ Data La Vista

🕶️ Tell your expensive BI tools: "Data la vista, baby!"

DataLaVista is a lightweight, client-side reporting and dashboard toolkit. It brings the full power of SQL directly to your browser, allowing you to build high-performance visualizations without the need for expensive server-side licenses or complex backend infrastructure. This is a beta release, ready for early adopters who want to query. Created by Gabriel Mongefranco, Jeremy Gluskin, and Shelley Boa at the University of Michigan, with contributions from the Automators Anonymous community of practice at Michigan Medicine.

Come with me if you want to query

Most enterprise data is trapped behind bloated frameworks or expensive BI tools. Data La Vista terminates them to free your data:

• Zero Server Footprint: 100% JavaScript. Your browser is the engine.
• Full SQL Support: Query your SharePoint lists and flat files as if they were a relational database.
• Pluggable Architecture: Works in SharePoint today; works in React, Vue, or vanilla HTML tomorrow.
• Format Agnostic: Support for JSON, REST APIs, Excel (XLSX), and CSV is built into the roadmap.
