Metabase
Open-source BI and data visualisation. Build dashboards, run ad-hoc queries, and share insights without writing SQL. Works well with Postgres, MySQL, and more.
Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool for building dashboards and running ad-hoc queries against your databases. It supports Postgres, MySQL, and many other data sources out of the box.
I use Metabase for data visualisation and reporting. It lets non-technical team members explore data and build their own dashboards without needing to write SQL, while still giving power users direct query access when they need it.
The self-hosted option makes it easy to connect directly to your production or replica databases. You can set up automated reports, embed dashboards in other tools, and share insights across a team without building custom reporting infrastructure.
Other Data tools
Supabase
Hosted Postgres with auth, storage, and realtime. Open-source Firebase alternative. I use it for backend-as-a-service and vector search via pgvector when I need a database without managing servers.
Upstash
Serverless Redis with per-request pricing. No connection limits, works at the edge. I use it for caching, rate limiting, vector search, and session storage in serverless apps.
