Frequently asked questions
Metabase is an open-source business intelligence (BI) tool that allows anyone in your organization, regardless of technical skill, to ask questions and learn from data.
It is designed to be highly accessible and user-friendly, translating complex database queries into simple, intuitive visualizations like charts, graphs, and dashboards. With Metabase’s visual query builder, users can filter, group, and summarize data without writing a single line of SQL.
Metabase needs at least 1 core and 1GB of RAM as the baseline. On top of that, for every 20 concurrent people using your Metabase, Metabase will need 1 CPU and 2GB of RAM. For example, if you have 40 concurrent users, you’ll need a total of 3 CPU cores and 5GB of RAM.
The application database is probably the most important component of the entire architecture: it’s the single point of failure, and the faster the app db can return queries to the Metabase application server, the better. As a starting point, allocate 1 CPU core and 2GB of RAM the server running your application database. As a general rule, for every 40 concurrent people using your Metabase, a PostgreSQL application database will need 1 CPU core and 1 GB of RAM.
For more detailed information, refer to the Metabase installation requirements.
Kamatera provides robust security measures at the infrastructure level, including private networking, advanced cloud firewalls, and dedicated resources. When combined with Metabase’s own security features and your control over the environment, you can implement a strong, compliant data security posture.
Yes, Metabase is compatible with a wide range of popular databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and many others. As long as your Kamatera server has network access to your database, you can establish a connection and begin visualizing your data.
Yes, Metabase supports collections and permissions to segment access by team or department. Alternatively, with Kamatera’s flexibility, you can deploy separate Metabase instances for complete isolation between teams or business units.
Kamatera makes scaling seamless. You can upgrade CPU, RAM, or storage instantly without downtime. Many organizations start with modest resources and scale up as they add users, connect more data sources, or increase dashboard complexity.

During the 30-day trial period, you may create one server with a configuration costing up to $100. You will have 1 TB of free traffic (including both inbound and outbound traffic). Customers must provide a valid credit card to start the trial, but the card will not be charged if you stay within the usage limits stated above. If you wish to cancel the free trial, you can simply terminate your server without incurring any charges. However, if you do not cancel before the trial ends, we will begin charging for services used.
