Dashboards for your Dev Stuff

There really is no end to the number and style of dashboards that you can pull together for your internal activities. There really are any number of options, from cloud stuff like Atlassian to Klipfolio to Tableau.

Then again, there is always requirements for stuff that slips through the cracks, things that you really don’t want to locate in “somebody else’s cloud” for a variety of reasons. Think security, regulatory restrictions, privacy, stealth, or even “‘cos the boss sez. so”. Usually you go with some form of roll your own in this case, right?

Well, check out Dashbling, a React based tool to generate dashboards that actually looks good! And yeah, pretty easy to pull together too . It’s simple, but good enough in it’s capabilities to cover quite a variety of use cases

• Deployment is docker based
• Data can be pushed to it via REST, or streamed in using NodeJS components
• Widgets are React components, and can be shared via NPM packages
• And, did I mention, it looks good?
