About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Metabase is a BI platform for connecting to databases and building no-code questions, SQL analysis, dashboards, alerts, data transformations, and embedded analytics, with both self-hosted and Metabase Cloud deployment options.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Serve both no-code question builders and SQL users

Non-SQL users can explore data through the question builder while advanced users can write native SQL against the same connected sources.

Sources: [2][3]

Extend from dashboards into alerts, Data Studio, and embedding

Metabase covers dashboards, transformations, metrics, subscriptions and alerts, plus components for embedding analytics into applications.

Sources: [2][3]

For teams evaluating internal BI and customer-facing embedded analytics together

It fits organizations that want self-service internal analysis and product-embedded analytics on a shared platform.

Sources: [2]

Verify the boundary between open-source and commercial editions

Code outside the top-level enterprise directory is AGPL, while code inside it uses the Metabase Commercial License. Map requirements to editions before adoption.

Supplemental curator note

Metabase combines approachable no-code analysis with a SQL editor in one product. The repository contains AGPL open-source code outside the top-level `enterprise` directory and commercially licensed code inside it, so verify which edition contains the features you need.
