What is Evidence, and How to Deploy It in an Enterprise Data Stack?

Evidence presents a unique, code-driven approach to business intelligence, offering an open-source alternative to traditional drag-and-drop tools. Rather than relying on visual interfaces, Evidence uses SQL and markdown to generate reports. This means you embed SQL statements directly within your markdown files to query your data sources. Charts and components then visualize these results. To streamline the process, templated pages enable the generation of multiple pages from a single template, while loops and if/else statements provide precise control over the content displayed to users.
