Original: Can we replace a $150k Looker with a bucket of HTML files?
A developer argues that business intelligence software like Looker can be replaced with a simple stack of static HTML files, publishing the argument in a blog post. The piece challenges the assumption that expensive BI platforms are necessary for internal data dashboards, claiming plain HTML output can serve many of the same reporting needs at a fraction of the cost. It is drawing debate about whether heavyweight BI tools justify their price tags.
