Analytics and Business Intelligence are rapidly becoming essential component of business applications. Whether the purpose is to visualize data, monitor trends or forecast business conditions, visualizing data in an easy way to represent digits and binaries into a presentable and understandable format.
There are a number of data visualization tools discussed on this blog already. Today we are featuring Cube, which is an open-source system for visualizing time series data. Built on MongoDB, Node and D3, Cube is easy to implement in any web application.
Cube is generic in nature and not specific to any particular business domain. It receives timestamped events (with optional structured data), that can be easily converted to realtime visualizations. For example, you might use Cube to monitor traffic to your website, counting the number of requests in 5-minute intervals.
