  • sqlite-jdbc

    SQLite JDBC Driver

  • And often, sqlite-jdbc.

  • plotly.js

    Open-source JavaScript charting library behind Plotly and Dash

  • Notably, I've recently started using a jekyll site for documentation, and one thing jekyll makes easy is injecting javaScript fragments in reports. So, it's just easy to use something like plotly for fancy charts. I kinda find this easier to grasp and use than a notebook system like Jupyter. So many tools just "output to markdown", like, you can run SQL queries in IntelliJ's database plugins and have the output just spit out markdown tables. Or JSON I throw in markdown. Super handy.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
