Metabase database6/10/2023 ![]() It helps the team preemptively check for issues or inefficiencies in our customers’ APIs.ĭevelopers are provided access to Metabase when working with the operations team to debug issues on production servers or do configuration checks or root cause and corrective analyses (RCCA). All of these fit in very well with the Metabase way of doing business. The Product team needs to have a look at turnaround times, success metrics, and data anomalies. Similarly, the Sales team can check how their clients are doing using the data from Metabase. Issues like Success rate dipping below a certain threshold, transaction-related issues, and customer billing. The Operations team requires access to dashboards and questions that deal with customer success. In the image above, you can see the groups and people of a Metabase installationīased on this framework, we have internally divided people into 3 groups In the image above, you can see the collections in the left-hand side column and questions belonging to a particular collection. Groups have policies to manage the access to collections and questions that the admins manage very stringently. The permissions can be to view questions in a collection or curate them simply. Once a person is onboarded, we assign them a group, and the group, in turn defines the accesses to the tables and collections they will have. Metabase allows people to be self-onboarded using Google SSO, which works very well for us at Decentro. This binding of questions makes them easily manageable. Collections – A set of questions makes a collection.Questions – Written and saved queries that can be altered using the query editor or the custom question (used to provide filters and grouping options visually).Metabase sits on a separate instance and has read-only access to this database. This makes querying the data easier and extracting information a piece of cake. We at Decentro have a central RDBMS database containing transactional data. No engineers or extra licensing costs are involved. The only setup required is getting the docker up and running, then following the steps to add your database. ![]() Metabase is a business intelligence tool that lets you access your data in a read-only manner. This is where our trusty friend Metabase comes in. It’s wise to start early and bloom according to the customer or market requirements when they come.Īs mentioned earlier, large enterprises might have data engineers setting up pipelines, and dedicated personnel preparing dashboards and presentations using the data collated from the multiple divisions of the organisation, but a startup has limited resources in terms of man-hours and funds. We have all heard this adage but does it fit in the startup ecosystem? The statement might be true for large enterprises which have multiple verticals and many departments looking at metadata or transactional level information to make sense of it, but what about a growing startup? Is Metabase the answer?
