Summary

Here's a neutral, objective, and interesting summary of the text in one paragraph: This tutorial explores how to add analytical features, such as reporting and dashboarding, to an existing e-commerce web application using Cube.js. The tutorial uses Saleor as the e-commerce platform, which is powered by a GraphQL server running on Python 3 and Django 2 framework. After installing Saleor, a new Cube.js backend instance is created, followed by setting up data modeling and schema to translate raw database data into meaningful analytics insights. The tutorial then adds an analytics section to the Saleor admin dashboard, including creating charts using Bizcharts for visualizations. Measures and dimensions are defined in the Cube.js schema to generate SQL code that runs in the database and returns results back, allowing for pre-aggregations and caching management.
