Apache Arrow is the next big thing in data analytics, imagine doing a SQL query in MAPD ( executes in ms on GPU ) then passing the data zero-copy into python, doing some calculations in pandas and outputting the result into web interface, because everything is zero-copy it can be done faster than ever before.

What is your "go to" web interface for displaying/visualizing data?

I use Oracle APEX because it has a killer "interactive report" feature (ie a data grid on steroids), which enables non-programers to easily filter, aggregate,export,report on, etc, the data. However, although APEX is a free option that comes with the DB, it ties you to Oracle.

It would be great if there was a similar, database independent, low-code tool like APEX out there, so am curious what you have seen to work well.

Have you tried the native visual analytics client that comes with MapD, MapD Immerse? (https://www.mapd.com/platform/immerse/). It’s not a full BI tool but is very good for interactively slicing and dicing datasets from 1M to 100B rows. Here’s a demo of it on 11.6B rows of US Ship data (https://www.mapd.com/demos/ships).

No, I have not - thank you for pointing that out. I'll take a look.
