Internal Dashboard Stack (React, Recharts, Express, PostgreSQL, Redis) overview

An internal business intelligence and operations dashboard combining React with Recharts for interactive data visualization, Express as the API server, and PostgreSQL for relational storage. Redis provides caching for expensive queries and session management. Docker Compose enables one-command local development and consistent staging deploys. Targeted at internal tools teams building admin panels, operations dashboards, and reporting interfaces where design polish matters less than data accuracy and rapid iteration. The tradeoff is that this stack lacks built-in auth and role-based access — teams must layer on their own authorization middleware.
