FAQ
What is Metabase and who is it for?
Metabase is an open-source business intelligence and analytics tool designed for teams that want to explore data, build dashboards, and share insights without heavy engineering effort. It is suitable for startups, SMBs, and larger enterprises that need an accessible, self-service analytics layer on top of their data sources.
Is Metabase really open source and how can I deploy it?
Yes, Metabase is open source and its core is available under a permissive license. You can self-host Metabase on your own servers or cloud infrastructure using Docker, Kubernetes, or traditional JVM deployments, or choose Metabase's managed cloud offering if you prefer not to manage infrastructure.
Do I need to know SQL to use Metabase?
You do not need SQL to get value from Metabase. Its visual query builder lets non-technical users filter, group, and aggregate data through a point-and-click interface. Power users and analysts can still write SQL directly when they need more advanced control.
What databases and data warehouses does Metabase support?
Metabase supports a wide range of relational databases and modern data warehouses, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, and more. You can connect multiple data sources to the same Metabase instance.
How does Metabase handle security and data access control?
Metabase includes role-based access control, collection-level permissions, and row-level data restrictions to ensure users only see the data they should. You can define groups, assign permissions, and audit activity to maintain compliance and protect sensitive information.
