Open-Source Dashboards with Apache Superset
Apache Superset is an open-source platform for exploring data and building dashboards without per-user licence fees.
Xirgosoft installs and secures Superset, connects your databases and builds dashboards for your teams.
It is a strong option when you want control over your data and costs.
Open-Source Analytics With Apache Superset
Apache Superset is an open-source data exploration and dashboard platform. It connects to most SQL databases, lets analysts query data in SQL Lab, and turns the results into charts and dashboards that anyone with access can use, without per-user licence fees.
Superset is a good fit when you want control over your data and costs, or when your data already sits in MySQL, PostgreSQL or a data warehouse. The trade-off is that you run it yourself, so a reliable setup matters. We deploy Superset on your server or cloud with a production-grade stack: a metadata database, Redis caching, background workers for alerts and reports, HTTPS and a reverse proxy.
We then connect your databases, define datasets with proper columns and metrics, and build the charts and dashboards your teams need. Security is configured with roles and permissions, and with your preferred sign-in method such as OAuth or LDAP. For applications and portals, we can embed dashboards with controlled access.
Because Superset is community software, we also handle upgrades and monitoring. We keep the installation patched, back up the metadata database and document the setup so your team understands how it runs. If a managed or commercial option makes more sense for you, we will say so.
