> No ETLs This seems to be listed as a feature, which I find confusing. Not everything lives in SQL databases. Some things you extract for example from external APIs. Is this basically "this is out of scope for the project", or it's a feature because we've got ?

Don't agree, in the past metabase was good, now it's just getting worse. I was a big fan of metabase (to the point I deployed it in 4 companies and rolled it out for many people to use in their daily workflow). All was nice. Somewhere around 0.31 something changed in the internal dev/release flow. I get the feeling they have some kind of internal push to add unnecessary untested features which all look nice on paper,…
I'm on the Metabase team - We've walked a fine line between fixing bugs, adding the features that our users have asked for and building out the BI interface we think the world should be using in 5 years. We don't always get it right, and I'm sorry if we broke things for you on the performance side. We will be spending a few of our development cycles after 0.33 to try to clear out our bug queue. One specific factual p…
While I have you here... bump for the Athena driver. Also I can’t use Metabot without some privacy settings. Can’t anything be done?

What's wrong with pie charts? What would you suggest using when you want to see a percentage breakdown?
Use bars showing percentage. This way you can compare the values to a scale on the side and to each other. You can't see a difference easily on a pie chart without annotation. With enough values, you likely can't tell 5% from 10%, and difference between a fragment on the left from a fragment on the right. This is even worse in 3d pie chart which doesn't even preserve proportions in areas/angles, so splitting in 4 par…
EDIT: If you are showing who ate which parts of a pizza (to be pedantic) I'm sure a pie chart may be the best case solution. My favourite use of pie charts is to compare the harmonic series and the series 1/x^2, but then again this latter example is not really a traditional pie chart.
I’ve taken a quick glance and looked at the code. It’s a Java/Spring Boot project which usually gets a lot of flak around here for “too much magic”.
This project is written in a very clean style and seems to use a minimum of Spring. Mainly rest controllers, configuration and and dependency injection. No hibernate/orm or AOP stuff.
