About Apache Superset
Apache Superset is a web application you install on your own server to explore data, build charts and assemble dashboards. Users can work in a no-code visualization builder or write queries in its SQL IDE. Charts range from simple line charts to detailed geospatial views.
Superset connects to SQL-based databases, including cloud-native databases and query engines. The documentation is split into guides for analysts, for administrators who install and operate it, and for developers who use its REST API or build extensions.
