Hi, I am Jorin, the developer behind Shaper.

I have been building different data dashboards, integrations and export features over the years. And it always frustrated me how many different tools you need to even solve simple problems. And all the tools you have to maintain and bring your team on board.

Shaper is for exactly these situations, while acknowledging that other tools do a great job at solving more complex data engineering problems. With Shaper you can collect, store, process, visualize and share data, all in a single, easy to operate tool.

It’s all open source and easy to run on your own server. But there is always going to be the inherent complexity that comes with any data project.

And that’s where Shaper PRO comes in. My goal is to enable as many teams as possible to get value out of their data and make their data accessible to their users. And a software alone cannot do that. That’s why I am here to help you manage your data platform and implement your data use cases.

What Shaper PRO gets you:

  • Shaper, fully-managed: Monitoring, updates, backups, security, compliance, and high-availability deployments
  • Extensive support: Integrate Shaper into your product, connect your data sources, manage data, build dashboards
