November 2020 Summaries

We're thrilled to share that Cube.js is releasing an official Docker image and amplifying its support for the microservices architecture, which will provide a scalable solution for Cube.js applications by deploying them as fully isolated microservices that don't share any resources with other parts of the application, making it easier to manage infrastructure and improve performance.

Angular, a popular web framework, is often chosen by developers for building web applications with Material Design components, such as dashboards. This guide demonstrates creating a full-stack dashboard for an e-commerce company using Angular and Cube, an analytics API that simplifies data querying and SQL generation. The dashboard includes interactive charts, KPIs, and a data table, leveraging Angular CLI, Cube's CLI, and libraries like Chart.js and Material. It details steps for setting up an analytical API with Cube, configuring a PostgreSQL database, and building frontend elements with Angular and Material. The guide also covers adding filtering, sorting, and pagination functionalities to the data table, enabling users to explore e-commerce data dynamically. The result is a multi-page dashboard with navigation, powered by Cube's analytical capabilities and Angular's robust framework, providing a comprehensive view of business metrics.
