Open source Looker alternative with Cube and Apache Superset

The digital age is characterized by the ongoing story of bundling, unbundling, and rebundling in the data space. Emerging tools provide flexibility and a lower entry barrier for practitioners, while established solutions offer a safe harbor with well-known integrated products promising big returns on investments. Cube and Apache Superset are alternative tools to Looker that provide a finer solution in many use cases, offering open-source licensing, separation of concerns, compatibility, and a headless approach. These tools complement each other by providing a unified semantic layer for data modeling and visualization, allowing for flexibility and reducing vendor lock-in. They offer free as in "open source" and ready-to-go solutions with freemium pricing models, making them an attractive alternative to Looker.
