Metabase is the BI platform at the centre of our dashboard and self-service analytics offering. It combines a powerful question and dashboard builder with an accessible interface that non-technical users can navigate, making it the right choice for organisations that want to democratise data access without building a dedicated data team. Hellenic Technologies deploys Metabase self-hosted on your infrastructure — on AWS, GCP, Hetzner, or your existing server environment — giving you full data ownership, no per-seat licensing constraints, and the ability to embed dashboards in internal tools and customer-facing applications. How we set up Metabase:
  • Self-hosted deployment — Metabase is deployed as a containerised application on your chosen infrastructure. We configure persistent storage, SSL termination, health checks, and automated backups.
  • Database connection — Metabase is connected to your ClickHouse instance, PostgreSQL database, or existing data warehouse. Read-only connection credentials are used for query execution.
  • SSO integration — For organisations with Google Workspace or an existing identity provider, we configure SAML or OAuth SSO so users log in with their existing credentials and are assigned to the correct permission groups automatically.
  • Collections and permissions — Metabase’s collection hierarchy is set up to mirror your organisational structure. Marketing, finance, and operations have separate collections with appropriate view and edit permissions. Sensitive financial data is restricted to finance roles.
  • Embedded dashboards — Metabase’s signed embedding feature allows dashboards to be embedded in internal tools, client portals, or Notion pages. We configure embedding tokens and iframe integration for clients who need dashboards accessible outside the Metabase application.
  • Data model configuration — The underlying data model is documented in Metabase’s metadata layer, with field descriptions, display names, and default aggregations set so the self-service question builder produces sensible results.
