Better Business Intelligence in Elixir With Livebook
Mark Ericksen discusses how developers can use Livebook as an alternative Business Intelligence (BI) tool for their Elixir applications. He explains that BI tools are used to analyze business information and make data-driven decisions, but they can be expensive and complex. Instead of using traditional BI suites, developers can leverage Livebook's capabilities to execute Elixir code, generate charts, and visualize data directly from their running applications. This approach allows for quick analysis on an "as-needed" basis without the need for direct database access or maintaining separate BI tools.
