One of the most amazing pieces of software I've worked with recently is Kibana, which is a web-based visualization software that is part of the open-source Elasticsearch stack.
My understanding of why Kibana could be built and become such a powerful visualization tool is because of the easy-to-use and powerful REST APIs that Elasticsearch shipped with out of the box.
Hopefully a REST API like this for MySQL will make it easy to build similar powerful tools around MySQL! It's definitely something that would have helped with the PHP / MySQL applications I built years ago.

- enobrev 9y agoI don't love kibana, but with the ease of dumping structured logs from rsyslog to elasticsearch, it's hard not to use it. I hadn't heard of SuperSet[1] until this post. Seems pretty interesting. Looks like there's potential for ElasticSearch support[2] as well. 1: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset 2: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/600#issuecomment-307960932 https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/600#issu...
- o1lab 9y agoThank you for your inputs. Kibana and superset look awesome. I'll have a look at them.
