Wanted: Business Intelligence/Analytics/Visualization Consultant/Developer
2 projects | /r/BusinessIntelligence | 29 Jun 2023

For background, our environment is hosted in AWS and our data warehouse is in redshift. We currently use [High Charts](https://www.highcharts.com/) to render simple, in-app reports. We are pretty happy with High Charts, it is highly preferred over the other solutions by our dev team. We use [SciSense](https://www.sisense.com/) for the more advanced dashboards/reports both in-app and in a reporting app. I will simply say we are not happy with SciSense for a multitude of reasons. Finally for internal facing dashboarding and reporting we use MS Power BI. We will not use this solution for customer facing applications due to it's numerous UX "paper cuts" (a bunch of little things that combined make it a less than ideal UX, in our opinion).
What python library you are using for interactive visualisation?(other than plotly)

Yep, the JS package is owned and maintained by Highsoft (www.highcharts.com), while the Python package is owned and maintained by one of my companies (HCP LLC). I’ve partnered with Highsoft, which means that you can get both the JS libraries and the Python package (which is a paid add-on for commercial use) from them ( https://shop.highcharts.com ).

its not php/composer, but if you can send the data to an html file, you can use HighCharts to turn the json data model into various nifty charts. It's javascript.

I would recommend Highcharts. It can be a bit overwhelming to begin with but it lets you build whatever kind of chart you want.
