Today was one of the most fulfilling days for me in a long time. I got to do one of my absolute favorite things and that was to do a technical deep dive into software. Today it was Apache Superset! ♾️

My objective was to get a fundamental understanding of how to stand up the system on my local machine, identify what it takes to upload a file with data into the platform, and scope out what it’s visualization capabilities are. 📃

Beyond fulfilling all requirements, I gained valuable insights into several unique aspects of the application. For instance, it is platform-independent and can run on Linux, macOS, and Windows systems by leveraging Docker for deployment. When a file is uploaded, Superset automatically loads the data into a PostgreSQL database. Out of the box, Superset provides a wide variety of visualization options—including correlation, flow, distribution graphs, maps, and ranking visualizations. One noteworthy edge case involves column names that conflict with SQL keywords. To avoid errors in such cases, the column names must be wrapped in quotes. 🔍

Through this analysis I was able to get a much more comprehensive perspective on what this software is capable of. Superset is definitely designed as an open-source business intelligence tool for self hosted analytics allowing end-users to create interactive dashboards without much coding experience. 👥
