What Hacker News says

Yeah, a lot of the time I'd agree with you. :) This container came about for the Redash project (https://github.com/getredash/redash), which had been stuck on PostgreSQL 9.5 (!) for years. Moving to a newer PostgreSQL version is easy enough for new installations, but deploying that kind of change to an existing userbase isn't so pretty. For people familiar with the command line, PostgreSQL, and Docker then its no big deal. But a large number of Redash deployments seem to have been done by people not skilled in those things. "We deployed it from the Digital Ocean droplet / AWS image / (etc)". For those situations, something that takes care of the database upgrade process automatically is the better approach. :)
In A PostgreSQL Docker container that automatically upgrades your database
As a data point, we're using Redash (https://github.com/getredash/redash/), an alternative to Metabase, in a VM on Digital Ocean. It's a US$15 VM (2 cpu, 2GB ram) and seems to be fine. That's using a PostgreSQL instance running on the same VM, and nothing seems to be unhappy. The graphs it generates are used both publicly (auto-updating): https://sqlitebrowser.org/stats/ ... and we have a bunch more private graphs and dashboards for metrics. Everything is close to instant in responsiveness, apart from the "public" stats above. Those take some time to display purely on the browser side, as they feed way too much data to a browser for easy rendering. (will be fixed at some future point). ;) Probably the only down side to Redash is a need to understand SQL. That can start out pretty simply though. :)
In Costs of running a Python webapp for 55k monthly users
If you are using a PG client already you are probably not the target audience. It's easier to tell someone to copy paste a query into Slack to get their weekly insights than teaching them how to set up pgcli or some other gui app. You'd also have to create tightly scoped permissions for everyone who only needs it from time to time. I'd probably set up something like https://github.com/getredash/redash for these cases though, it's also very user friendly.
In Joe, a Postgres query optimization bot
I'm not 100% sure if this is a fit for your needs, but Redash[1] (open source, but there is a hosted version too) you can query spreadsheets and APIs (within limits). Our JSON data source is not merged yet [2], although available already on the hosted version. You can see details here: https://redash.io/help/data-sources/querying/urls#JSON [1] https://redash.io/ [2] https://github.com/getredash/redash/pull/3805 (I'm the creator of Redash, now CEO of Redash the company)

Redash | Open Source UI/UX Designer | REMOTE Redash is a BI tool for people who <3 SQL. We let you connect to your database(s), query your data, visualize and share it (dashboards, API, etc). Redash is fully open source [2] with a SaaS offering. We're looking for someone to redesign the application. The goal is to create a style guide we can apply to the application. Preferably someone who is a "full stack" designer, i.e. can do both the design and also write CSS. Collaboration will be via GitHub and all the work will be open source. Great opportunity to explore how design/UX work in an open source project can be done. This is a scoped project (paid of course), although we would love the person who takes this to be able to help us from time to time when we add new UI or when UX questions arise. Maybe in the future this can become a full t
