How do I publish a report to Tableau/BI tool with React app - node.js

we have a react front-end which is connected to Express/Node.js back-end which itself relies on Neo4J database (because we need this kind of relation between data). The whole stack runs on AWS.
We would now like to interact with Tableau (we liked it, but we are open to other BI solutions if they are a better fit). The main goal is that the users of our web application will be able to create customizable reports and of course view them. They would only have access to their own data.
So my question are as follows:
Is it possible to interact with Tableau/other BI solution through some SDK in React/Express app in order to create reports and view them?
How could we make sure that a given user can only work with his data in the BI tool?
If there is a better and easier solution which will drive us to what we are trying to achieve we are opened to those ideas :)
Thanks in advance to all!

Read/Update Cells in hosted Excel without requiring recurring authentication

I'm trying to make a cost calculator that uses a complex set of Excel formulae, and was able to successfully make it work when logging in each time as an approved user, but I can't find a way to make it exist as a server application which would be readily accessible to anyone with a link. I am accessing it via a Node server.
Am I missing a functionality of Graph or is this a dead-end? If so, any suggestions at all? I feel like this has to have been done before but I am really struggling to find anything. Cheers

Nodejs send metrics of how many people are using my app

So i'm designing a new application with Nodejs and packaging into an executable then putting a release in github, I want to be able to monitor how many people are using my executable?
I was thinking about creating an api server and my application just make a call to that API service but I thought there might be something already out there any help?
The easiest way is to connect third party services that do that. The most famous one is Google Analytics
You just need to create your developer account and embed a few lines of tracking code. After that you can see full info about your visitors including their location.

How Can I setup Google Actions For Team Development?

I am working with a team to develop a Google Action for an Organisation called 'Rocket Chat'. Now what we want to do is that, to create one main account under that organisation, where frontend and backend will be hosted and also give access of this account to a few Developers. What will be the most efficient way of doing this?. Any ideas or suggestions on how to do that are appreciated. Thanks.
Frontend is hosted on Dialogflow and for backed we are hosting our fulfilment on Firebase. If you want more details on our setup, please visit here => https://github.com/RocketChat/google-action-rocketchat
The "correct" way to do it would be for every developer to use their own account, and share a project with all of them. This also will allow you to have more granular permissions for each developer.
In addition to having ownership of the project, you may also want to have some processes in place to mitigate potential issues. If everyone uses one project, it's possible to run into race conditions if multiple developers upload the same cloud function. The Dialogflow console also may have issues with multiple editors at one time.
For easier development, each developer may want their own separate prototyping project which gives them full control over the environment, and then have some way to integrate their changes into one master project.

Set up Google Analytics to track a command line Node app

I'd like to use Google Analytics to track usage of a command line Node app. Tracking will be strictly opt-in. I'd like to track basic usage, plus which operating system and version of Node was used.
I've found the Measurement Protocol, but I'm wondering whats the best way to set up Google Analytics.
You can choose from Web or App - App seems the best fit, but then I'm sent to Firebase to set up an iOS, Android or Web app. None of these are correct. So is 'Web' the best way to track my app usage? Or is Google Analytics not the right approach?
Seems like the best approach is Google Measurement Protocol. There's a Node library for it.
Really Google Analytics is completely designed around web apps and more recently mobile apps, it has concepts like "page views" which don't make sense for CLIs, and Firebase Analytics is only for Android and iOS.
You might be able to shoehorn he CLI use case for some purposes. Alternatively, you could consider using a cloud database like Firebase real-time DB to capture your own events.
Google analytics really isnt designed for something like this. You have only two options web app where everything is page based. http://example.com/hello.php vs using a mobile app where everything is screen based. Home, about, help.
I have done this before with several console applications, a custom SSIS task (dll) and an arduino project. I chose mobile application mainly because i thought it was closer. I know of someone who did the same with an actions on google project.
In the end what you use will be up to you. Just consider what it is you want to track exactly and lay it out before you start.
If you choose mobile make sure you send Screen views and not page views. The Google analytics website is split you cant mix and match the hit type.
Workaround for createing moble account without firebase.
create a new web property on Google analytics type Web
create a new view under that web property type mobile.
We made Console Cat for this exact purpose! It's built from the ground up to track telemetry / analytics for CLIs including things like flags, command duration, version, etc.

Creating an app to provide user with offline map and offline routing using Android Studio

I am trying to create a mockup of application that will allow user to use the app to navigate in a city.
The reason the map needed to be online is that my application needs to modify the mockup traffic light in the map based on traffic.
Currently I tried to OSM since Google map doesn't provide any traffic light data.
My problem is I have no idea how to create an offline map, by using OSMAnd, I am able to create an OBF file using OsmAndMapCreator, after that I have no idea how to implement it (I cannot find any tutorial online).
I also don't know which offline routing service to used, I have find that OSMAnd can be used to provide navigation but I don't know how to implement it in a new app.
I am sorry if this is off topic or being a vague question, but I have no more choice.
Thank you.
