Metabase

Metabase Dashboard Development open-source BI that your engineers actually like

Metabase is the BI tool that makes engineers happy: open source, runs on your infra, connects to Postgres / MySQL / BigQuery / Snowflake / ClickHouse natively, and lets analysts write SQL without locking the data behind a license fee per seat. We build Metabase deployments where engineering, product, and ops teams can self-serve queries — without DBA bottlenecks and without a five-figure annual BI bill.

Our work covers self-hosted Metabase (Docker / Kubernetes / EC2), Metabase Cloud, and embedded Metabase for customer-facing analytics. We design semantic models, build dashboards with drill-through and filters, write SQL question libraries, and configure permissions so the right teams see the right data. Pricing: about 70–90% cheaper than Tableau/Power BI for equivalent scale.

Is metabase dashboards the right move?

Good fit

  • Teams that need trustworthy dashboards across multiple tools
  • Founders tired of manual spreadsheet reporting
  • Tableau / Power BI license costs becoming prohibitive
  • Engineers writing one-off SQL queries on weekly request — bottleneck

Not the right fit

  • You only need a one-off opinion with no implementation owner
  • You are not ready to share access, context, or decision feedback during the project
Problems

Common problems we fix

Tableau / Power BI license costs becoming prohibitive
Engineers writing one-off SQL queries on weekly request — bottleneck
Customer-facing analytics built from scratch every release
Metabase deployed but queries slow — running on production replica
No semantic layer — same metric calculated 5 different ways across dashboards
Operating proof

Built to solve a specific business problem, not just deliver a task.

The engagement is scoped around the outcome, the operating workflow, and the proof needed to judge whether it worked.

Workflow

What happens after you enquire

A short, visible delivery path keeps the work moving and gives you clear approval points.

01

Audit the current state

We review what exists today, where it is leaking value, and what should be fixed first.

02

Lock the working plan

You get a concrete scope, timeline, success metrics, and owner before execution starts.

03

Build and review

We execute in short approval loops so copy, design, tracking, and delivery stay aligned.

04

Launch and measure

The final work ships with tracking, documentation, and next-step recommendations.
