&Open Presents: Using Blazer as a BI tool

Join us for an excuse to warm our minds and pique our curiosities, as we host our first ever event, supported by Ruby Ireland.

The focus: Rapid API prototyping and fast analysis, using Blazer.

Blazer is an open-source, lightweight BI tool that can easily be incorporated into Rails applications, allowing the use of SQL to create charts, dashboards, and reports. At this event, we'll cover what Blazer is, what it can do, why we use it at &Open (https://andopen.co), and how we've gone beyond standard usage, leveraging it to rapidly prototype data-centric APIs.

Alongside this interactive discussion, there will be delicious food, drink, and (of course) a lovely gift — it wouldn't be an &Open event without one — all to be enjoyed over the hum of in-person conversation post-presentation. All you need to bring is yourself.

Who is &Open? We call ourselves the world’s first happiness platform. We're focused on customer loyalty for modern brands - our gifting platform sends digital and physical gifts at scale.

Doors open from 6pm, talks start at 6:30pm.

The deadline to sign up is Friday 5th November, 2021 — we hope to see you there!

Take care,

Fintan, Ross and Team &Open
