The Dashboard Creation Problem
You need a dashboard to visualize your data. You spend hours:
- Writing SQL queries

- Testing and debugging
- Deploying and maintaining
By the time it's done, the requirements have changed. Sound familiar?
Traditional Dashboard Creation: The Struggle
The Old Way
Step 1: Write SQL queries (30 minutes)
SELECT
DATE(order_date) as date,
SUM(total) as revenue
FROM orders
WHERE order_date >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 30 DAY)
GROUP BY DATE(order_date)
ORDER BY date;
Step 2: Set up charting library (1 hour)
- Install dependencies
- Configure chart options
- Handle data formatting
Step 3: Code the visualization (2 hours)
- Map data to chart
- Style the chart
- Add interactivity
Step 4: Test and debug (1 hour)
- Fix data issues
- Adjust styling
- Handle edge cases
Total time: 4.5 hours
