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!

Well structured and complete. Lets you go from nothing to having your very on fully deployed and fully functional Metabase instance with reports and dashboards that you can easily share with your team.
