What is EDA?
Jortilles developed this open-source business intelligence platform. The software enables anyone to explore data and create interactive dashboards without writing code, while also offering advanced SQL querying and a tree-based model explorer for power users. Features include KPI tracking with automated email alerts, public dashboard sharing via links, row-level security for data access control, and AI assistant connectivity. Built with Node.js, TypeScript, and Angular, it uses MongoDB to store metadata and configuration. You can self-host it easily with a single Docker command or by running the backend and frontend separately after cloning the repository. A live demo is accessible at demoeda.jortilles.com. The code is licensed under AGPL-3.0, and a managed cloud version with paid tiers is also available.
