Summary

In this chapter, we've covered the challenges that every data-driven business should expect to come across, and how Redash comes in handy to target those challenges and help shorten the time between questions and answers by allowing the user to query all of their Data Sources from a single place, without moving the data anywhere.

Redash allows you to combine queries and visualizations from different Data Sources in a single dashboard to provide the business department with the most comprehensive overview possible.

In the sections that followed, we went over the main features of Redash, as well as its architecture in brief. In the next chapter, we will cover the installation options and a step-by-step guide to Redash.

If you're planning to use Redash as a hosted service, or if the installation of the software will be undertaken by another department, you can skip the next chapter.
