Metabase

Metabase is an open-source business intelligence platform designed to make data accessible to everyone in your organization. Instead of requiring SQL knowledge or technical training, it provides a visual query builder that lets users click and drag to create charts, graphs, and dashboards.

The platform connects to over 20 different databases and data sources, from PostgreSQL and MySQL to cloud services like BigQuery and Snowflake. It queries your data directly without copying or storing it elsewhere, which keeps everything secure and up-to-date.

Metabase offers both self-hosted and cloud deployment options. The open-source version includes all core features for free, while paid plans add advanced permissions, embedding capabilities, and professional support. Whether you're a startup analyzing customer data or an enterprise building internal dashboards, Metabase scales from simple charts to complex multi-user analytics platforms.
