Ask HN: Modern BI stack 2022 for low entry and cheap license dashboards
Hi all,
I'm looking to get into niche dashboards for my special interest (cycling adjacent and adrenaline junkie). This world has tons of users, but no 'whales'.
I simply want to host a dashboard and allow people to access it for 10-15 dollars a month while making a bit of meat for myself (to allow full-time work on the project). I considered PowerBI, but learnt that the user account license would run 10 dollars a pop, per month. So say I scale to 10k users, almost all of my money would be going straight to the MS.
What are the best modern ways to do this? Looking around, it seems I can use an Azure SQL server or Amazon dynamoDB to host the database and get good reliability and concurrency somewhat cheaply. How can I do the same with the dashboard itself? (if I was doing time series data, an Amazon managed Grafana looks like a winner, but I'm doing a simple dashboard with little time series data).
