I built ReportBurster out of frustration with current BI stacks.
Most tools live in two separate worlds:
- Beautiful dashboards and analytics tools — great for charts, weak for reporting, and many push you towards their SaaS.
- Powerful report generators — pixel-perfect PDFs, but no real analytics or exploration.
Stitching 4–5 tools together with scripts, glue code, and workarounds became the norm.
Plus, most modern tools are SaaS-first. If you want serious reporting, automation, portals, or embedding — self-hosted and open-source — options shrink fast.
ReportBurster aims to handle the entire data-to-delivery pipeline in one platform, powered by the *AI Crew* — your council of AI oracles that learn your projects, preferences, and workflows:
- Explore & visualize data (aka Chat2DB using AI)
- Generate pixel-perfect reports
- Automate bursting and distribution
- Build secure document portals
- Build, deploy, or embed dashboards and OLAP analytics directly into your own apps
Built with Angular, Java, and NextJS. Fully self-hosted and open-source — *no more SaaS lock-in*.
