ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

What is Redash

Redash is an open-source, SQL-first business intelligence tool. Analysts and engineers write queries against any of 50+ data sources, turn results into charts, and share dashboards across the team — all on infrastructure the buyer controls.

Redash is BSD-2-Clause licensed and community-maintained. It was founded by Arik Fraimovich, acquired by Databricks in June 2020, and rebooted as a community-led project after a three-year dormant period. The first-party hosted service at app.redash.io was shut down on 30 November 2021 — with customer data deleted within 30 days — and Databricks has since redirected commercial development to Databricks SQL. The community reboot has shipped v25.1.0 (January 2025), v25.8.0 (August 2025), and v26.3.0 (March 2026).

The project carries 28,500+ GitHub stars, 980+ historical contributors, and is used by thousands of organisations — pre-acquisition reference customers included Atlassian, Cloudflare, Mozilla, and SoundCloud. It is the canonical open-source answer to Looker, Mode (acquired by ThoughtSpot for $200M in 2023), and Periscope — the default recommendation in Hacker News, r/dataengineering, and r/analytics threads for SQL-fluent teams leaving per-seat commercial BI in 2025 and 2026.

FEATURES

What Redash does

SQL editor, 50+ data sources, 17+ visualisation types, dashboards, alerts, SSO, and a full REST API. Eight features that matter for day-to-day use.

SQL editor

Schema browser, table and column autocomplete, query snippets, parameter syntax, version history, and forking. The daily surface for analyst work.

17+ visualisations

Line, bar, area, pie, scatter, bubble, box plot, heatmap, pivot table, counter, cohort, funnel, sankey, sunburst, word cloud, map. Cohort and sunburst are uncommon in commercial BI.

Scheduled refreshes and caching

Run queries on cron-style schedules; cache results so dashboards load instantly for end viewers; avoid hammering the warehouse on every page load.

SSO and permissions

Google OAuth, SAML (Okta, Auth0, JumpCloud, self-hosted), LDAP, and remote-user header auth. Group-based ACLs on data sources, queries, and dashboards. View-only data source mode.

50+ data sources

PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, Athena, Presto, Trino, Google Sheets, JSON, Python, and many more.

Dashboards and parameters

Drag-and-drop widgets with markdown text blocks, cross-widget filter parameters, public share links, and dashboard-level refresh schedules. One dashboard, multiple parameter views.

Alerts

Threshold conditions on any query result, delivered to Slack, email, webhooks, PagerDuty, or Google Chat. Tied to the same scheduled-refresh engine that drives the dashboards.

REST API and embedded analytics

Every UI action is a REST endpoint: queries, dashboards, users, alerts. Public dashboards and per-visualisation embeds with API-key URLs for customer-facing reporting.

WHAT'S ALWAYS INCLUDED

Every app. Fully managed.
Nothing extra to pay for.

Every app you deploy includes the full managed service — security, backups, updates, and support from day one.

Automatic updates and patches

Apps run the latest stable version. Security patches applied silently, with rollback if needed.

Daily off-site backups

Multiple daily backups in redundant off-site locations. One-click restore if anything goes wrong.

24/7 uptime monitoring

Continuous monitoring with instant alerting. We respond before you notice.

SSL, firewall, DDoS protection

Auto-renewing SSL, hardened firewall rules, DDoS mitigation on every deployment.

Performance and scaling

We monitor resource usage continuously. When your app needs more headroom, we flag it and upgrade with your explicit approval.

Dedicated engineering support

Real engineers on chat. DNS, SMTP & migration help. All included in €9.

WHY MANAGED

Why teams pick managed Redash

A Wiz security scan in April 2026 found 112 open vulnerabilities — 11 critical and 101 high — in the official Redash Docker image. Running Redash well in production is a different problem from running SQL well in Redash.

Self-hosting Redash is not docker compose up. A production instance is a five-container stack: a Flask server, a scheduler, RQ workers, Redis, and PostgreSQL, each with its own failure mode. It needs HTTPS termination at a reverse proxy, an SMTP credential for alerts and password resets, the PostgreSQL major version pinned before docker compose pull tries to upgrade you to Postgres 18 (getredash/setup#87), and the upstream Docker image rebuilt because the latest official tag ships with 11 critical and 101 high-severity dependency CVEs (Issue #7683, April 2026) including known exploits in Authlib, h11, and DOMPurify.

The most expensive failure mode is the silent one. The v10-to-v25 upgrade, which most self-hosters face because Redash went dormant for three years between releases, silently broke widget layouts on existing dashboards (Issue #7585), and there is no migration script that fixes it. RQ workers stuck at 100% CPU need a manual restart. Long-running queries against multi-hundred-GB tables can balloon server memory until the container OOMs and the dashboard returns 504s. The fixes are known; the time to apply them is what costs.

USE CASES

Three teams who run Redash on DANIAN

These are representative team types we set up most often. Each starts with the same flat €9 plan.

SAAS DATA TEAM, EX-MODE

Replacing Mode after the ThoughtSpot acquisition

Series-B B2B SaaS, 80 employees. Region: Finland, for latency to a Frankfurt warehouse. Five analyst seats, application Postgres on a read replica, Stripe via JSON connector, BigQuery for product events. ~200 queries per day, 30 production dashboards on cron-refresh, Slack alerts on revenue anomalies. Annual saving versus Mode's per-seat pricing: roughly $18,000.

E-COMMERCE ANALYTICS

Past the Looker Studio limit on multi-source joins

DTC brand, four-person analytics team plus 15 read-only viewers. Region: Germany. Shopify orders via JSON, Stripe payouts, custom Postgres warehouse, Klaviyo via JSON. Daily revenue dashboard refreshes at 06:00 local, weekly cohort retention runs Sunday night, monthly returns and margin review the first Tuesday of each month. ~150 queries on the dashboard cron-schedule.

MARKETING AGENCY, EMBEDDED

One dashboard per client, 20 clients, one Redash

Performance-marketing agency, four internal seats plus 20 client-side viewers. Region: United Kingdom. White-label subdomain on a custom domain. Each client's dashboard runs on API-key-protected public URLs; client data is partitioned by group ACL on the warehouse side. Monthly OFX exports to each client's accountant. Replaces the Looker Studio rebuild the agency did every Q1.

COMPARISON

Four ways to run Redash

Four real paths to running Redash in 2026: the first-party hosted service that no longer exists, a VPS you operate yourself, your own Kubernetes cluster, or fully managed by us. The math holds at every scale because Redash itself is per-seat-free.

VPS pricing based on Hetzner CX32 (8 GB RAM) post-April-2026, plus 2 hours per month of operator time at €60–120 per hour for image rebuilds, Postgres major-version pinning, RQ tuning, and SAML configuration. Kubernetes path assumes an existing cluster — additional time is for chart tuning, monitoring, backup CronJobs, and CVE rebuild pipelines. Commercial alternatives at the 25-user scale (Looker, Mode, Tableau) typically run $50–$250 per seat per month, or roughly $1,250–$6,250 per month for the same headcount.

BY INDUSTRY

Redash for specific industries

Redash fits where a team needs SQL-first analytics, audit-traceable queries, and per-seat-free user scaling. Four segments where the fit is strongest.

SaaS data teams typically need product analytics on an application Postgres or MySQL plus a warehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake, or Redshift), and the buyer often has SOC 2 obligations that require auditable analytics queries with version history.

On managed Redash we run v26.3.0 with the upstream Docker image rebuilt to clear the high and critical dependency CVEs flagged in Issue #7683 (April 2026). Group-based permissions on data sources isolate prod from analytics replicas; the full REST API exports queries and dashboards for SOC 2 evidence collection. Typical setup: a read replica or analytics warehouse, 3 to 10 analyst seats, 5 to 30 production dashboards on schedule, and alerts to Slack on revenue and churn anomalies. The €9 floor is the same at one user or one hundred.
E-commerce reporting blends app database transactions, Stripe payouts, Shopify or WooCommerce orders, and shipping data. PCI DSS v4.0 became fully enforceable on 31 March 2025, and the practical implication for analytics is that Redash should query derived, tokenized data, never raw PAN, which the schema design naturally encourages.

On managed Redash we wire JSON connectors for Stripe and Shopify, a PostgreSQL connector for the app database, and scheduled refreshes for the daily revenue dashboard. Typical buyer: 1 to 4 analysts, daily revenue and channel attribution dashboards, weekly cohort retention, monthly returns and margin review. Public dashboards on an internal subdomain let the wider team read without seats — and Redash is per-seat-free, so the read population scales for free.
Fintech analytics teams need auditable, reproducible SQL queries: every dashboard tile should trace to a versioned query. PCI DSS v4.0 (effective 31 March 2025) and, for US public companies, SOX section 404 both push toward query lineage and change history; Redash's per-query version history and the immutable REST API audit trail map cleanly onto these requirements.

On managed Redash we host in a region that satisfies your data-residency posture (Germany, Finland and others for EU customers under GDPR), keep daily off-site Postgres metadata backups for 14 days, and pin the rebuilt Docker image to clear the upstream CVEs. Typical configuration: 5 to 15 analyst seats, group-based read-only access to a reporting replica, alerts on transaction anomalies, and a quarterly review of the query inventory.
Agencies that build client reports at scale typically run one Redash instance with one dashboard per client and expose them via public URL or embedded widget. GDPR Article 28 requires a written data processor agreement when the agency handles client data on the client's behalf; we provide a standard DPA on request, and the EU region option keeps personal data inside the EU.

Typical setup: 3 to 8 internal seats, 10 to 30 client dashboards on a white-label subdomain, API-key-protected public URLs for client viewing, monthly OFX or CSV exports to client accountants. Replaces the Looker Studio rebuild that every agency seems to do at the end of Q1. The €9 floor stays €9 whether the agency runs three clients or thirty.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams ask before signing up — answered straight, without sales speak.

Three groups: technical setup, migration, and how DANIAN works as a service.

01

Technical and configuration

More than 50 connectors ship in the box. The most-used: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MS SQL Server, Oracle, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, Athena, Presto, Trino, Google Sheets, JSON (any REST API), and Python. Time-series and observability backends include Prometheus, InfluxDB, and Graphite. Specialty stores include DynamoDB, ScyllaDB, Salesforce, and SPARQL endpoints.
Yes. Redash supports Google OAuth, SAML 2.0 with Okta, Auth0, JumpCloud, and self-hosted IdPs, LDAP, and a remote-user header mode for proxying behind your own SSO layer. SAML on self-hosted Redash is fully manual — XML metadata URLs, per-IdP recipes, certificate copy-paste. On DANIAN we provide the configuration steps and a verified callback URL for your domain, which is usually the fiddly part.
Each query runs in an RQ worker process. The query timeout, worker count, and result cache TTL are environment-variable-driven; we tune them based on instance load. Scheduled refreshes use a separate scheduler container with cron-style intervals. A long-running query in v8 could block shorter ones (Issue #1782) — the RQ migration in v9 fixed the worst of that, and we monitor queue depth and worker memory to catch the rest.
Query results are cached in the Redash metadata Postgres, not in Redis. Large result sets — millions of rows — inflate the metadata database and slow dashboards. We monitor the metadata DB size and alert before it becomes a problem. For aggregation-heavy workloads, push the aggregation upstream (in your warehouse, not in Redash) — both faster and easier to maintain.
Yes. Everything visible in the UI is also a REST endpoint — query CRUD, dashboard provisioning, user management, alert configuration, and result fetching. The API uses per-user API keys; we can also wire long-lived service-account keys on request. Common pattern: dashboards-as-code, where queries and dashboards live in Git and a CI pipeline syncs them via the API.
Yes. Each app is its own €9 per month instance on its own subdomain. They do not share data — and they should not. Redash is SQL-first for analysts and engineers; Metabase is point-and-click for non-technical users; Superset is heavier and more enterprise-flavoured. Pick the tool that matches your audience, or run two for different audiences.

02

Migration and onboarding

We can activate your app on your own custom domain/subdomain. Examples: mydomain.com, anyword.mydomain.com.
Or, on our randomized free subdomain. Example: 963.apps.danian.cloud
If you wish to use a custom domain/subdomain, select that option when ordering your app (or notify us later). We will send you the required DNS records and if needed, our tech team will modify them for you.
21 datacenter locations across six continents. You choose the region at provisioning. Application data sits in the region you choose; pick whichever is closest to your users or matches your data-residency preference.
Yes. Request a region migration from the dashboard and we run the move in the background. The system emails you when the migration completes; total transfer time depends on data volume but typical instances finish in a few hours. There is no extra charge for a region change.
Yes. Full data export is available at any time, in a portable format you can bring to any infrastructure.
From Mode and Looker: yes, and cost is usually the trigger. ThoughtSpot acquired Mode for $200 million in June 2023; per-user Looker pricing runs well above per-month managed Redash. The migration is mostly rewriting LookML or Mode reports as SQL queries — slow at first, but the resulting Redash queries are durable and not tied to a vendor data model. From Metabase, the case is weaker: stay on Metabase if your users are non-technical, and we host Metabase for €9 per month too.

03

Billing, support, and platform

€9 covers everything we do for that app: hardware in the region you choose, daily off-site backups with one-click restore, automatic security patches and version upgrades, 24/7 monitoring, SSL and firewall, and engineering support on Email/LiveChat. There are no setup fees or hidden line items. For more info see our Pricing page.
If you decide to continue, we charge €9/app/month from day 8. If you don't, the trial ends and you can export your data. No card is required for the trial, and we never auto-charge you without explicit consent.
No. The €9/month is flat regardless of how many users log into your app. Add 5 users or 50; the price doesn't change.
24/7 Live chat and email support, both staffed by engineers who run the systems. We handle DNS configuration, SMTP setup, app integrations, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and migration help. Response time is typically under an hour. There is no tier system — every customer gets the same support.
Yes. Cancel from the dashboard. We don't charge a cancellation fee, we don't lock data, and we will export your data to you on request before deletion. data to you on request before deletion.
Every customer instance is backed up daily to a separate region from the primary. We test restores. You can request a restore at any backup point within the retention window — usually 7 days for daily backups.
Your application data sits in the region you choose at provisioning — 21 datacenter locations across six continents. Account-level data (billing, account email, support ticket history) is processed centrally. Application data region is picked by you, per app.
99.9% uptime SLA on every app, every tenant. Service credits are documented at danian.co/service-level-agreement. The status page is located at status.danian.co.
When your tenant approaches the resource ceiling — the base tier holds 1 vCPU/RAM, 30 GB storage — we notify you. Resource upgrades happen with your explicit consent; we will not upgrade your tenant or charge you without it.
We wait. We don't suspend the app or delete your data on the first failed charge. We email you, you fix the card on file, and we continue.
Invoices can be downloaded from the billing dashboard in PDF the day each charge succeeds. EU VAT is added where applicable and the VAT-reverse-charge regime applies for VAT-registered businesses with a valid number.
