Reviewer scorecard
“SQL + markdown = BI dashboards. Version control your analytics like code. Genius simplicity.”
“Simplest vector DB to get started with. Serverless pricing means you only pay for what you use. Great for RAG.”
“For teams that think in SQL, Evidence produces better dashboards than clicking through Metabase or Tableau.”
“Vendor lock-in with no self-hosting option. pgvector gives you vectors in your existing Postgres — simpler architecture.”
“Code-based BI aligns analytics with engineering best practices — version control, review, testing.”
“Purpose-built vector databases will outperform bolted-on vector features as embedding workloads grow more complex.”
