How do you deal with data visibility and permissions? I mean, most tables have data that should only be seen by a specific user or group ID, and that layer is usually handled by the application. It would be awesome to expose the power of Superset for users, but I imagine creating the security layer would be a pain.
I have this question too

#92So it's irritating to me that this is ranking #1 on HN (why is it, btw?) I just pulled the trigger on a large data gathering project using Metabase, and feel a bit hampered by the limitations in terms of charts and plugins... but I considered Superset first, and after a lot of thought I decided that almost everything I've ever worked with that was run by the Apache foundation turned out to be semi-abandoned disasterw…
Because we (the FBI Surveillance Van) saw that you picked Metabase, called our shady French-accented overlord, and he told us to dump it.
He's working on that accent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6oeAdemFZw

#93How would you compare Superset with PowerBI for analytics and CSS integration? Trying to develop features and advanced analytics capabilities into an app?
Re: Apache Superset
#94Is Superset a decent tool if you're just a single person doing data analysis? Say I have a handful of sqlite databases, and just want to be able to develop some queries / charts. I was looking into Tableau / Power BI / Superset, and all of them seemed pretty heavyweight for a single user, and none of them seemed super easy to get setup locally.
Any recommendations for a good piece of software for the single user case? Or a more convenient way to run the heavyweight tools?

Tableau is the best, most powerful, most mature of the three, most feature complete and easiest of the three. I think they give you a 30 day trial.
This is a single user application, unless you make it part of your built application.

Pretty sure it's as simple as posting in your general slack channel "@here we posted a new article to HN, go upvote and write a comment"
Re: Apache Superset
#97For my last employer, I set up Superset for a number of our clients to show all sorts of heavily customized marketing analytics dashboards, web performance graphs, project management burndown reports, you name it. As with another commenter's experience, we also got a client to replace Tableau with it, and not look back. Such a great product.

Maybe it's a YC startup.
AFAIK YC startups don't get any more boost on the front page than normal posts.
Re: Apache Superset
#99How does this compare to Jupyter notebooks and the ecosystem around that? Do the use cases overlap, or are they completely different things?
Re: Apache Superset
#100Is this capable of performing efficient JOINs across non-homogeneous data-stores?
Should it? If you really need that, join the different sources with TrinoDB (or any related managed service like AWS Athena) and connect it to Superset.
