Connect to any SQLite database, drag and drop charts, share dashboards. Metabase requires Java and Postgres. This is one binary.
Every operation in Cartwright is available through a JSON REST API. No SDK required — use curl, fetch, or any HTTP client.
GET /api/reports — list all reports with optional search and filter query parametersPOST /api/reports — create a new report recordGET /api/reports/{id} — retrieve a single report by IDPUT /api/reports/{id} — update an existing reportDELETE /api/reports/{id} — remove a reportGET /api/stats — aggregated statisticsGET /api/health — health check endpoint for monitoringMost reports tools fall into two camps: free products that harvest your data, or enterprise platforms that cost more than the problem they solve. Cartwright exists because neither option makes sense when you just need a reliable dashboard and report builder under your own control.
A devops team integrates Cartwright into their CI pipeline. A post-deploy hook creates a report record via the API. The stats endpoint feeds a Grafana panel. When something goes wrong, the team searches reports by keyword to find related records without switching tools.
Deploy Cartwright as a systemd service, a Docker container, or a bare process behind tmux. It reads two environment variables: PORT and DATA_DIR. Everything else is self-contained. The /api/health endpoint returns the service status and reports count, which you can wire into your existing monitoring stack.
