description: >-
  An index and topic collection covering data visualization, charts, dashboards, business intelligence (BI), and reporting APIs. Data visualization platforms turn raw data into charts, graphs, and interactive dashboards that
  drive insight, decision-making, and storytelling. This collection includes enterprise BI platforms like Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, Looker, Qlik Sense, Sisense, and Domo; modern cloud BI and embedded analytics like Looker Studio,
  Amazon QuickSight, and Metabase; open-source dashboarding and viz like Apache Superset, Grafana, Kibana, Perses, SigNoz, and OpenObserve; charting libraries and frameworks like Matplotlib, Streamlit, Apache Zeppelin; product
  analytics and observability dashboards like Mixpanel, PostHog, Amplitude, Datadog, Adobe Analytics, and Keen; and architecture and diagramming tools like Lucidchart, alongside the API Evangelist's own subway-map style visualizations.
