It's been a few years since I evaluated superset. Did they ever resolve drilldown (filter for one chart on a page, populate to all charts)?

#102Had a very good experience with Superset. Superset allowed us to replace Tableau and not looking back Took me a while figure out how to embed it into my app using Superset Embedded SDK.

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.
You can use row-level security, or specify RBAC with pretty much any SQL query.

#103How does this compare to Jupyter notebooks and the ecosystem around that? Do the use cases overlap, or are they completely different things?
In my experience, people with a business related background have an easier time learning how to use BI tools (this is true even if Superset may be less user-friendly than other commercial product like Tableau); Jupyter is an interactive computing platform that is based on notebooks and cells, that's more useful for data scientists/engineers whose needs might exceed the capabilities of a SQL interface.

#104> Superset is fast, lightweight, intuitive, and loaded with options that make it easy for users of all skill sets to explore and visualize their data, from simple line charts to highly detailed geospatial charts. I tried Superset a few years back, and maybe it's changed since then, but intuitive is about the last thing I'd use to describe it.

Let’s be honest, intuitive is the last word we’d use to describe most Apache projects.
They are doing pretty well that it is even clear what the project is really even about. Good luck figuring that out within 30 seconds of hitting the average Apache project homepage.

#105Is 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.
It’s common for business questions to only be answerable with a join over a few different stores.
I think Athena can only query data on S3?

It wasn’t fast either when I used it.
What it was though, was riddled with dozens of Python runtime errors and innumerable glitches.
Metabase is where it’s at.

#107Neat. I have to admit I about had a heart attack reading "Superset" as "Sunset" at first. I've become too jaded about stuff being shut down and announced on HN. Very pleasantly surprised when I read correctly and clicked through to see its about data analytics.

#109I recently discovered Apache Superset. I would love to use it in our product. Does anybody know if it possible to integrate it into an existing product? I am mostly curious about hooking up its authentication system to our own authentication system, which is based on auth in ASP.NET Core 8.
