Summary

This tutorial demonstrates how to build a business dashboard using Budibase, the Cube REST API, and a data store like PostgreSQL. The end result is a dashboard that answers typical questions for an e-commerce business, such as sales trends over time and customer segment behavior. Budibase is used as a low-code app-building platform to create a responsive web application with minimal effort. Cube is used as an analytics API layer to provide analytical capabilities and query acceleration, allowing developers to build more complex applications without requiring extensive man-hours. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to implement the dashboard using Budibase and Cube, including creating a data schema, defining measures and dimensions, and connecting the dashboard to a database. The resulting application can be used to display sales trends, customer behavior, and other business insights in an easy-to-understand format.
