This is an open-source data visualization platform that allows users to explore, analyze and visualize large volumes of data in real time. Initially developed by Airbnb in 2015, Superset was later donated to the Apache Software Foundation and became an open-source project in 2017. Since then, Superset has become one of the leading real-time data analysis tools used in various sectors, including finance, healthcare, e-commerce, media, and many others.

Superset is a highly customizable tool offering various visualization options, including charts, tables, maps, interactive dashboards, and more. It can also integrate with various data sources such as Apache Hive, Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, and Google BigQuery, allowing users to access and work with data in real time. In addition, Superset also offers advanced security and collaboration features, allowing multiple teams to work together on a single data visualization project.

“Superset is run in Airbnb’s production environment inside Kubernetes and serves 600+ daily active users viewing over 100K charts a day.”
