Hi, @IrvineJ

First, you can use the QLDB driver on the AWS SDK to interact with the QLDB API.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/qldb/latest/developerguide/getting-started-driver.html

As you can see in the link, it is available in the following programming languages.

> Java, .NET, Go, Node.js, Python

Next, let's talk about dashboards. Dashboards can be realized in various ways.  
If you want to use AWS services, you can use Amazon QuickSight.

And with Amazon QuickSight, you can embed your dashboard into an external website/web system, or simply require your users to sign in to QuickSight.

QLDB is not yet integrated with QuickSight. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly export QLDB data to S3, RDBMS, etc.  
You can use AWS Glue for export.

Hi, @IrvineJ

In case you are looking for options to build a custom dashboard web application then you may also explore [Amazon Amplify](https://aws.amazon.com/amplify/) . It allows to develop web applications leveraging [AWS AppSync](https://aws.amazon.com/appsync/)  with [GraphQL API](https://graphql.org/) and by default uses [Amazon DynamoDB](https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/) and [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) for data persistence. [Amazon QLDB](https://aws.amazon.com/qldb/) can be added to AWS Amplify as a [custom resource](https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/custom/cloudformation/) to process some ledger-specific transactions and then [stream data](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/qldb/latest/developerguide/streams.html) to Amazon DynamoDB through [Amazon Kinesis Data Streams](https://aws.amazon.com/kinesis/data-streams/) and [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/).
