Visualizing YugabyteDB Data – What’s the Best Way?

General

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently started working with YugabyteDB for a project that needs to handle a lot of distributed data across multiple regions. The performance and scalability are great so far, but now I’m looking into how to make the data easier to understand for non-technical team members.

I’m planning to build dashboards to visualize queries, user activity, and error logs. Has anyone here successfully connected YugabyteDB with BI tools like Tableau or Power BI? Any tips on getting a smooth integration?

While looking into this, I found a really helpful tableau tutorial that explained how to connect external databases and create custom dashboards. If anyone’s starting out with data visualization, I’d be happy to share the link.

I’d appreciate hearing from others who’ve built analytics or reporting layers on top of Yugabyte. What worked best for you..direct SQL connections, APIs, or intermediate data warehouses?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Just a thought, It does publish metrics in Prometheus format, we can use Grafana to build custom dashboards
