Ask HN: Easiest way to get tabular data on the web for people to slice and dice?
I have a some public data that I've rescued from PDFs, turning them into regular CSV files. In total, it's about 20,000 data points, about 2 megs in size. I'd like for people to be able to do reporting, generate graphs, etc without my involvement. I'm not averse to renting an AWS instance to host the data and whatever is needed to allow people to display and render it. The data is in a standard form (now, after I worked it over) so it would be trivial to set up a database with 10 tables, but it's the user-driven reporting and graphing I have no idea about.

I'd go with R and its shiny webserver, checkout some examples
