Choose where your Metabase Cloud is hosted Image

Speed up your Metabase by hosting it closer to you and your data with new cloud-hosting options in the EU (Frankfurt), APAC (Singapore, Sydney), or South America (São Paulo).

Until October 2023, all of the Metabases hosted in our cloud were in the US. After first adding new hosting options in the EU (Frankfurt), APAC (Singapore), and LATAM (São Paulo), we've also added Australia (Sydney), so you can host in the region that keeps your queries close, instead of bouncing them around the world.

How to choose your hosting region

Whether you’re setting up a new Metabase, or moving your existing Metabase, we’ve tried to make it quick and painless:

  • When setting up a new Metabase, you can specify your preferred hosting region.
  • Want to move your existing Metabase to a new region? Head over to the changing which region your Metabase is hosted doc for a quick walkthrough.​

Please note that you may need to add our IP addresses to the whitelist if your data sources are behind a firewall so they don’t block calls from your Metabase Cloud to your connected databases.

Why hand your hosting over to us

You get automatic, worry-free upgrades, backups, unlimited technical support, and more. You’ll have a production-grade deployment by a team of experts, with none of the time, effort, and creeping costs of self-hosting. Our architecture prioritizes isolation, so each hosted customer gets their own container, no clusters — that’s a commitment we’ve ensured we can deliver as we offer hosting in multiple regions.

We could go on, but we’ve covered the benefits of Cloud at length on our Cloud product page, and in our post on Why Metabase Cloud.

You can migrate to Metabase Cloud any time and all of your artifacts will make the journey with you (questions, collections, groups, etc).

Thanks for being part of our quest for global domination using Metabase!

We simplified embedding

We cleaned up how embedding works in Metabase. Two paths: modular embedding for individual components, or full-app embedding for the whole thing. Your existing embeds still work.
