What is Rill?

Rill is a single solution for operational BI that stands out for its SQL and YAML-based approach to dashboard development. Engineers and business users appreciate its focus on metrics over visuals, allowing for the creation of powerful, code-driven dashboards. Rill differs from traditional BI tools by enabling users to develop, govern, and deploy their BI assets directly through GitHub, ensuring a seamless local to cloud workflow. This method significantly reduces cloud data warehouse costs by optimizing data storage and query speeds, offering up to 50% savings and 10-20 times faster data access. Unlike conventional tools that require extensive training, Rill's intuitive dashboards promote direct, self-serve data exploration and collaboration, speeding up decision-making and enhancing team efficiency without the need for extra support tickets.
