How to run Metabase in production
Blog post from Metabase
Metabase offers two main editions, Open Source and Enterprise, and can be deployed via Metabase Cloud for simplicity or self-hosted for more control, each having distinct advantages and tradeoffs. Metabase Cloud handles hosting, setup, backups, and updates, providing a hassle-free experience but offers less control, making it unsuitable for organizations with strict compliance needs like HIPAA. Self-hosting requires running Metabase via a Docker image or JAR and involves managing infrastructure, migrating to a production application database like PostgreSQL or MySQL, and maintaining backups, offering greater control but more overhead. For self-hosting, users must decide between Docker or JAR based on their technical familiarity, with Docker providing app isolation and easier orchestration. Whether using Metabase Cloud or self-hosting, users must configure settings, connect to databases, confirm data model settings, and ensure accurate metadata to ensure optimal functioning of visualizations.
