Dashboards as Code/Dashboards on your warehouseAnalytics Engineer

How do I build a version-controlled dashboard on BigQuery without a BI tool?

Define the dashboard in a YAML file, run dac serve, and get a live dashboard in your browser querying BigQuery directly. No BI license, no drag-and-drop, and the whole thing lives in git.

How it works in code
