Blazer

Blazer is a business intelligence tool that mounts into your Rails app. Your team
writes SQL, saves it, charts it, and puts it on a dashboard.

What you get

• Saved queries with variables
• Automatic charting from the shape of the result set
• Dashboards composed of saved queries
• Checks that email when a query starts returning rows
• An audit trail of who ran what

Mounting it

# Gemfile
gem "blazer"

# config/routes.rb
authenticate :user, ->(user) { user.admin? } do
  mount Blazer::Engine, at: "/blazer"
end

Why mount it

A hosted BI tool needs a database user, a network path in, and a per-seat
subscription. Blazer needs a route.
