## Why Superset?

Superset provides:

* An intuitive interface for visualizing datasets and
    crafting interactive dashboards
* A wide array of beautiful visualizations to showcase your data
* Code-free visualization builder to extract and present datasets
* A world-class SQL IDE for preparing data for visualization, including a rich metadata browser
* A lightweight semantic layer which empowers data analysts to quickly define custom dimensions and metrics
* Out-of-the-box support for most SQL-speaking databases
* Seamless, in-memory asynchronous caching and queries
* An extensible security model that allows configuration of very intricate rules on
    on who can access which product features and datasets.
* Integration with major
    authentication backends (database, OpenID, LDAP, OAuth, REMOTE_USER, etc)
* The ability to add custom visualization plugins
* An API for programmatic customization
* A cloud-native archiecture designed from the ground up for scale

## Supported Databases

Superset can query data from any SQL-speaking datastore or data engine (e.g. Presto or Athena) that has a Python DB-API driver and a SQLAlchemy dialect.

Here are some of the major database solutions that are supported:
