I've been evaluating different analytics software for my company and this book was the perfect read for learning more about Metabase and deploying it. While the world of databases, deploying analytics tools, and analytics is complex, this book helped simplify it with very helpful step-by-step guides and commentary from the author. Coming from an analyst background, I learned a lot about the processes of managing a database and cloud-based analytics software.In addition to the guides, there are many excellent recommendations on best practices for managing data and your data model within your organization. Metabase also has several interesting differentiators from its larger competitors that can make data more accessible to nontechnical people while providing more security to your data.

This book does a great job of assuming no prior knowledge, but remained fast-paced enough to be a quick read for a software engineer like myself with a fair amount of prior knowledge regarding some of the book’s tertiary content, such as the sections about Git, SQL, AWS. Overall, metabase seems like a very approachable way to gain business insights. After reading this, I feel confident that given a SQL database, I could quickly use it to perform some business analytics. It was comprehensive enough that someone with no prior knowledge of SQL or AWS could probably do the same.

Tim's guide to getting Metabase up and running is incredibly informative and useful for anyone interested in setting up Metabase for their business needs. I've been using Metabase since the beginnings of the product, and I still found nuggets in this book that I wasn't aware of.The organization of the book leads you through the steps in a realistic way of how one would integrate the product and workflows into the existing process of data collection for most scenarios a company would need. Even more importantly, the book walks through some of the helpful ways you can share Metabase insights through other tools like Slack and email to help spread knowledge and insights on your analysis. I learned some new things about how to organize the data and use snippets of query code across questions that I didn't know existed. I've been using Metabase on AWS consistently for years and Tim's steps aligned with my own experience very well. Some of the lessons he shares are incredibly helpful in organizing dashboards and projects in a cohesive way that definitely helps once your data needs reach a certain scale.Hopefully others find this guide helpful and can leverage the power of Metabase for their own companies and products!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
