Redash

https://redash.io/help/open-source/dev-guide

The application is a forked and upgraded version based on the Redash framework. It's built using Python (3) and Javascript / Typescript. To fully run our application, you will also need PostgreSQL (version 9.6 or newer) and Redis (version 3 or newer). While it’s not needed in production, for development you will need a recent version of Node.js (latest LTS version is recommended).

On the backend, we use Flask, RQ and SQLALchemy (along with many other packages) and on the frontend we use ES6, React and Webpack for bundling.

Please note that the links below will take you to Redash's resources, which are applicable for our application as well.

For Windows users: while it should be possible to run our application on a Windows machine, we don’t know anyone who did this and lived to tell. We recommend using some sort of a virtual machine or Docker in such a case.
