Rill dashboard

**Rill** is the fastest BI tool for humans and agents, powered by OLAP engines like ClickHouse and DuckDB. ## Get Started ```bash curl https://rill.sh | sh # install rill start my-project # create a project and open the UI ``` ### Scaffold a project with agent context Use `rill init` to scaffold a project interactively: ``` ➜ rill init ? Project name my-rill-project ? OLAP engine duckdb ? Agent instructions claude Created a new Rill project at ~/my-rill-project Added Claude instructions in .claude and .mcp.json Success! Run the following command to start the project: rill start my-rill-project ``` ## Why Rill? - **Build with agents** — BI-as-code (YAML + SQL) means coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor can author projects, dashboards, and security policies end-to-end - **Semantic layer** — Single source of truth for dimensions, measures, and time grains — defined in YAML, generating SQL at query time against your OLAP engine - **Explore with agents** — Conversational BI lets business users query metrics in natural language; the [MCP server](https://docs.rilldata.com/explore/mcp) connects AI agents directly to your semantic layer - **Real-time performance** — Sub-second queries at any scale; ClickHouse for billions of rows, DuckDB for smaller datasets and fast iteration - **Embeddable** — Dashboards, APIs, and agent interfaces you can ship in your product ## Capabilities ### Rill Developer (local) - [**Connectors**](https://docs.rilldata.com/build/connectors/) — S3, GCS, databases, and 20+ sources - [**OLAP Engines**](https://docs.rilldata.com/developers/build/connectors/olap) — Managed ClickHouse or DuckDB included, or connect an external engine (ClickHouse Cloud, Druid, Pinot, MotherDuck) - [**SQL Models**](https://docs.rilldata.com/build/models/) — Transform raw data with SQL, join models together - [**Data Profiling**](https://docs.rilldata.com/build/models) — Instant column stats and distributions - [**Incremental Ingestion**](https://docs.rilldata.com/build/models/incremental-models) — Load only new data on each run to keep large datasets current without full refreshes - [**Semantic Layer**](https://docs.rilldata.com/build/metrics-view/) — Dimensions, measures, and time grains in YAML - [**Row Access Policies**](https://docs.rilldata.com/build/metrics-view/security) — Per-user, per-group data access control - [**Local Dashboards**](https://docs.rilldata.com/build/dashboards) — Preview and explore dashboards locally ### Rill Cloud - [**Deploy**](https://docs.rilldata.com/deploy/deploy-dashboard/) — Git-backed, versioned deployments — push with `rill deploy` or connect a repo for automatic CI/CD - [**Explore & Canvas Dashboards**](https://docs.rilldata.com/build/dashboards) — Interactive dashboards, embeddable in your product - [**Conversational BI**](https://docs.rilldata.com/explore/ai-chat) — Ask questions in natural language - [**MCP Server**](https://docs.rilldata.com/explore/mcp) — Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI agent to your metrics - [**Custom APIs & Embedding**](https://docs.rilldata.com/build/custom-apis/) — Expose metrics via REST or embed dashboards - [**Alerts & Reports**](https://docs.rilldata.com/developers/build/alerts) — Threshold alerting, code-defined or UI-defined ## How It Works Define everything in code — models, metrics, dashboards — and Rill handles the rest. **1. Connect data** — `models/events.yaml` ```yaml type: model connector: duckdb materialize: true sql: | select * from read_parquet('gs://rilldata-public/auction_data.parquet') ``` **2. Define metrics** — `metrics/events_metrics.yaml` ```yaml version: 1 type: metrics_view model: events timeseries: timestamp dimensions: - name: country column: country - name: device column: device_type measures: - name: total_events expression: count(*) - name: revenue expression: sum(price * quantity) description: Total revenue ``` **3. Create a dashboard** — `dashboards/events_explore.yaml` ```yaml type: explore display_name: "Events Dashboard" metrics_view: events_metrics dimensions: "*" measures: "*" ``` **4. Deploy** ```bash rill deploy # push to Rill Cloud ``` Your metrics view is immediately queryable on Rill Cloud — add YAML files to configure dashboards, alerts, and custom APIs. ## Learn More [Getting Started with Rill Developer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQSok8Dy-D0) • [Exploring Data with Rill](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTP46eOzoCk&list=PL_ZoDsg2yFKgi7ud_fOOD33AH8ONWQS7I&index=1) • [Data Talks on the Rocks](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_ZoDsg2yFKgr_YEc4XOY0wlRLqzyR07q) • [Agentic Analytics with Claude Code and Rill](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6Lbu2cVH4g&t=2s) ## Examples | Example | Description | Links | | -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Programmatic Ads** | Bidstream data for pricing and campaign performance | [GitHub](https://github.com/rilldata/rill-examples/tree/main/rill-openrtb-prog-ads) · [Demo](https://ui.rilldata.com/demo/rill-openrtb-prog-ads) | | **Cost Monitoring** | Cloud infra merged with customer data | [GitHub](https://github.com/rilldata/rill-examples/tree/main/rill-cost-monitoring) · [Demo](https://ui.rilldata.com/demo/rill-cost-monitoring) | | **GitHub Analytics** | Contributor activity and commit patterns | [GitHub](https://github.com/rilldata/rill-examples/tree/main/rill-github-analytics) · [Demo](https://ui.rilldata.com/demo/rill-github-analytics) | Or explore a [live embedded dashboard](https://rill-embedding-example.netlify.app/). ## Community [![Discord](https://img.shields.io/badge/Discord-Join%20Chat-7289da?logo=discord&logoColor=white)](https://discord.gg/2ubRfjC7Rh) [![Twitter](https://img.shields.io/badge/Twitter-Follow-1da1f2?logo=twitter&logoColor=white)](https://twitter.com/RillData) [![GitHub Discussions](https://img.shields.io/badge/GitHub-Discussions-181717?logo=github&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/rilldata/rill/discussions) ## Contributing We welcome contributions!
