Evaluate deploying Apache Superset instead of Metabase #225

Closed jchristgit closed 6 months ago

jchristgit commented 7 months ago

At the moment we use Metabase for our statistics.

This uses custom user accounts that are manually created, and it's not written in Python. Apache Superset is completely open source (Metabase is a company), is written in Python, and supports custom authentication such as with GitHub.

I believe as part of the PostgreSQL migration to Netcup we should deploy Superset on the Netcup nodes and see if it could be a viable replacement. Obviously, all current functionality used by our team should work the same way, but perhaps we could even use Superset for more, such as integrating what currently powers https://stats.pythondiscord.com into it and / or allowing members to query our public data (under constrained resources).

After discussion, we don't need to consider this move for now. After migrating PostgreSQL to Netcup we are much better on resources and no longer need to make this change.

Metabase for now handles the needs of Administrators and the integrations with python-discord/bot are solid.
