Time and time again Metabase's product-led growth creates a powerful flywheel: developers use the OSS to create an initial set of queries, then spread usership and query volumes to achieve critical mass within a company, such that an enterprise license goes from a nice-to-have to mission critical.ĭue to Metabase's ease of use, ten-employee SMBs can pick it up and see value in minutes while simultaneously being used by top tier, sophisticated technology organizations including Confluent, Datadog, and just to name a few.

The magic that is the Metabase user experience was encapsulated well by one customer, who described the product as “…a world-class chef's knife in a kitchen, a great tool for almost any job."

Hundreds of billions of dollars in enterprise value have accrued to companies that enable their customers to generate (see Amplitude), stream (look no further than Confluent), and process (e.g. At the core of this increasingly critical transformation is the generation of useful, timely insights. While accelerated sharply by the pandemic, digital transformation was already well on its way to fundamentally refactoring how businesses of all sizes function globally.
