This tutorial guides developers in building a custom dashboard with React, using Nivo for data visualization and Cube Cloud as the backend database. The dashboard displays data from a PostgreSQL database, allowing users to easily build charts and other dataviz elements. With server-side rendering capabilities and full control over how data is displayed, nivo stands out from other libraries like Chart.js or Recharts. Cube Cloud provides a headless business intelligence engine that exposes the data through multiple APIs, making it easy to integrate with React applications. The tutorial covers connecting Cube Cloud to a PostgreSQL database, building a bar chart using Nivo and Cube's Developer Playground, and integrating the chart into a React application. By following this tutorial, developers can enhance their user experience by adding interactive charts and visualizations without spending developer time to build them from scratch.
