E-commerce

Medusa

A headless commerce platform and framework for Node.js and TypeScript: products, carts, orders, payments, promotions and regions as modules behind a REST API, with a React Admin dashboard served from the same process. You extend it in code with your own modules, workflows and subscribers, and bring your own storefront (a Next.js starter is optional). It runs on PostgreSQL, with Redis for production. The repository is MIT apart from its Enterprise Edition materials (role-based access control and SSO), which are proprietary.

Business intelligence

Apache Superset

An Apache Software Foundation data-exploration and dashboarding platform: write SQL in a browser editor or build charts without code, assemble them into dashboards, and connect to a wide range of SQL databases. It is a Python (Flask) backend with a React frontend that keeps its own state in a metadata database, and the full feature set also needs a Redis cache and Celery workers. Upstream's Docker Compose setup is for trying it out; its recommended production route is Kubernetes.
