Taleshape

Taleshape is an open-source analytics platform designed for engineering teams who want to add data visualization and reporting capabilities to their applications without adopting traditional business intelligence tools. It provides embedded dashboards, reports, and customer-facing analytics that integrate directly into products without requiring separate logins or infrastructure changes. The platform uses SQL as its primary interface, allowing developers to define analytics features through version-controlled queries stored in Git. All data processing occurs within existing infrastructure, eliminating vendor lock-in concerns. Users can choose between the managed cloud service or self-hosted deployment, with the option to switch between them at any time. The underlying Shaper engine is fully open source, ensuring transparency and auditability of all dashboard changes.
