v2.3 - now with native ClickHouse support

Your SQL is already a chart.

Vizier compiles the query you just wrote into a production-ready chart. No drag-and-drop builder, no semantic layer to babysit. Pipe a SELECT in, get an embeddable SVG, PNG, or live component out.

01 / Why Vizier

The chart layer your query deserved all along.

BI tools make you rebuild logic you already wrote. Vizier reads your result set, infers the right encoding, and gets out of the way.

Inference engine

Column types in, chart grammar out.

A timestamp and a numeric? Line chart. A categorical and an aggregate? Sorted bars. Two numerics and a label? Scatter with hover labels. Vizier maps result-set shape to visual encoding using the same rules a careful analyst would, and every default is overridable with a single flag.

Databases

9and counting

Postgres, MySQL, ClickHouse, DuckDB, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, SQLite, Trino. One config file, one connection string each.

Render speed

84ms median

Charts render server-side as SVG. No client bundle, no hydration penalty, nothing for your users to download but the picture.

Version control native

Charts live in your repo, not in someone's browser tab.

Every chart is a .sql file plus a tiny header comment. Review them in PRs, diff them, roll them back. Your dashboards finally get a git history.

Embeds

One URL, every surface.

Drop a chart into Notion, Slack unfurls, READMEs, or your own app via <img> or iframe. Live data, cached at the edge, refreshed on your schedule.

02 / Workflow

From prompt to production in three commands.

No onboarding wizard. If you can write SQL, you already know how to use Vizier.

Step 01

Connect

Point Vizier at a read replica. Credentials stay local or in your secret manager; we never store them.

$ vizier connect \
  --name prod \
  --url $DATABASE_URL
✓ connected: postgres 16.3

Step 02

Query

Run any file or inline query. Vizier inspects the result set and picks the encoding, or take the wheel with --as.

$ vizier run churn.sql \
  --as line --y pct
✓ 36 rows · line chart
✓ rendered in 71ms

Step 03

Ship

Publish to a signed URL with a refresh interval. Embed it anywhere a picture can go.

$ vizier publish churn \
  --refresh 15m
✓ live at:
  viz.run/acme/churn.svg

03 / Chart types

Every encoding an analyst actually uses.

Twenty-two chart types, all themed from one design token file. Here are four of the workhorses.

-- p95 latency by day
SELECT day,
approx_quantile(ms, 0.95) AS p95
FROM request_log
GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1;

$ vizier run --as line

✓ line · 30 rows · 68ms

-- signups by channel
SELECT channel,
count(*) AS signups
FROM users
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 2 DESC;

$ vizier run --as bar -h

✓ horizontal bar · 5 rows · 54ms

-- MAU by plan tier
SELECT month, plan,
count(DISTINCT user_id)
FROM activity
GROUP BY 1, 2;

$ vizier run --as area --stack

✓ stacked area · 72 rows · 91ms

-- ARR right now
SELECT
sum(mrr_cents) * 12 / 100
AS arr
FROM subscriptions
WHERE status = 'active';

$ vizier run --as bignum --delta 30d

✓ big number · 1 row · 31ms

"We deleted four Metabase dashboards the week we adopted Vizier. The charts now live next to the models that feed them, and code review caught a revenue bug before the board saw it."

05 / FAQ

Questions engineers actually ask.

Does Vizier ever see my data?+

In local mode, never: queries execute from your machine and render on your machine. Hosted embeds run on stateless render workers that hold result sets in memory only for the lifetime of the render (under a second) and persist nothing but the output image and its cache headers.

What happens when my query returns a weird shape?+

Vizier tells you instead of guessing badly. If the result set is ambiguous (say, three numeric columns and no obvious dimension) you get a one-line explanation and the two most likely encodings to pick from, e.g. --as scatter --label col3.

Can I theme charts to match my product?+

Yes. A single vizier.theme.json controls palette, type, grid, and spacing tokens for every chart in the workspace. Dark and light variants ship from the same file, and embeds auto-switch with prefers-color-scheme.

How is this different from a BI tool?+

BI tools are a destination: you go there, click, and rebuild logic in their modeling layer. Vizier is plumbing: SQL files in your repo become images and components wherever you already work. No new place to look, no second source of truth.

Does it work in CI?+

That is the favorite use case. Run vizier run --out ./artifacts in any pipeline to attach fresh charts to release notes, PR comments, or nightly reports. The binary is 14MB with zero runtime dependencies.
