Summary

The text discusses the use of Evidence.dev, a lightweight framework for building data applications and business intelligence products using SQL. It showcases how to create a dashboard to explore the BlueSky dataset by running queries at build time rather than run time, which improves page loading time and interactivity. The process involves creating a project, installing Evidence, configuring a connection to ClickHouse, writing queries, running them, and building an Evidence dashboard with multiple pages. Finally, it highlights deploying the project to Evidence Cloud or serving it locally using an HTTP server. The framework's approach of static-site generation and its ease of use make it a practical choice for creating fast-loading, interactive dashboards.
