Reviewer scorecard
“Observable Framework for data apps is excellent. Static site generation from data notebooks is the right approach.”
“Built-in vectorizer modules mean less glue code. GraphQL API is intuitive. Self-hosting option is a huge plus.”
“The best platform for creating interactive data visualizations. D3 integration and the reactive model are powerful.”
“Observable Framework is the sleeper hit — build data dashboards as static sites with SQL and JavaScript.”
“Open source and self-hostable gives you an exit strategy. The module system is genuinely innovative.”
“Multi-modal vectors and generative search point to where databases are heading. Weaviate is building for that future.”
