#050: Getting Started w/ Metabase | Open Source Data Visualization

Aug 16, 2023

Don't let costs get in the way of building great reports.

Metabase is a data visualization tool, but open source!

You can build beautiful visuals just as you would in tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Looker.

 

It's intended primarily for data visualization vs more intense analytics needs.

But, you can still do a lot with Metabase.

And it just might be sufficient for your needs.

 

You can create custom dashboards, subscriptions and much more.

There is also a cloud hosted option (at a cost)

But I want to help you try this great tool without paying anything extra.

In today's video, I'll show you how to start using this tool for free.

What will you learn? 

  • How to install Metabase for free w/ Docker
  • How to navigate the main features of Metabase
  • What changes to make before using Metabase in production

 

Enjoy!
