Can a $150k Looker licence be replaced by static HTML files?

Original: Can we replace a $150k Looker with a bucket of HTML files?

A blog post by David Lequin argues that businesses paying around $150,000 a year for Looker, Google's business intelligence platform, could in many cases replace it with pre-generated static HTML dashboards. The piece claims modern data teams overpay for features that simple generated files can cover, and the argument is drawing debate among developers and analytics engineers.

Why now: It challenges the value of expensive BI software at a time when companies are scrutinising tooling costs.
