What is Evidence?
Evidence is an open source business intelligence tool where reports are written as Markdown files containing SQL.
What does it do?
Runs SQL against your warehouse and renders the results as charts, tables and prose in a static web app. Reports live in Git, so dashboards are reviewed, versioned and deployed like code, with a hosted option for publishing.
Who is it for?
Analytics engineers and data teams already working in dbt and Git who want version-controlled reports rather than a drag-and-drop dashboard builder.
What are the alternatives to Evidence?
Metabase and Apache Superset are open source dashboards with point-and-click editors. Tableau targets business analysts, while Lightdash is another code-first, dbt-oriented option.
