As part of our work, we create data dashboards. We use NumPy and Pandas to analyze data, either Flask or Django as a framework, and HighCharts for interactive charts. The JS charting library has a variety of charts to meet our needs. Our input stored either as SQL or CSV is dynamic data.

I am beginning to wonder if HighCharts is replaceable with a fully open-source charting library.

Here a guide we've written for an app where you can drag and drop a file and get a chart from it.

But you can extend to take an SQL query or maybe to set up an external api call.
