Redash supports SQL, NoSQL, Big Data and API data sources - query your data from different sources to answer complex questions. Supported data sources and integrations → Redash is a popular Open Source project Customize and add features, no lock-in. Metabase and Redash can be primarily classified as 'Business Intelligence' tools. Metabase and Redash are both open source tools. It seems that Metabase with 15.6K GitHub stars and 2.09K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Redash with 13.1K. Postgres - Metabase. I believe this is the best combination of cheap/powerful for early-stage startups. My very non-technical cofounder is able to use metabase's simple GUI interface to create graphs/insights (even joining and aggregating across tables!), and for anything complex I can. Metabase - local install -because it's free, and because it is possible to stand up client type versions, and because it is easier to roll out to a team with less coding skills. It may be possible we could get metabase to do everything redash does, but for now, the convenience and lack of time to figure out how, both it is.
Introduction to the course
Super impressed with @metabase! We are using it internally for a dashboard and it really offers a great combination of ease of use, flexibility, and speed.

Metabase Vs Redash Vs Superset
Dear learner,
Welcome to this course about data visualization. I wanted this course as most of digital analysts are mostly swearing about Google Data Studio, an attractive platform which allows to create nice graphs, tables and charts... write analysis by gathering data from many third party platforms... and of course... giving even more power to Google by giving straight away your brain work to it. Google is not the only one making such solutions Tableau (hosted on Amazon Web Services) and Microsoft BI are also very common used platforms.
As I cannot let that happened, I decided to create my own course about data visualization with Free/Libre and Open Source Solutions. As a result, in this course, I will introduce you to two main platforms which are Metabase and Redash, in order for you to keep the control of your data and host your data results and analysis, wherever you are.

I really would like to thank Lukas Winkler for the endless time he gave me by answering any questions I had. Without him this course wouldn't have be released.
I really hope you will enjoy this course.
