Designing a dev-led BI stack - lessons from Roadsurfer
· 45 minutes
About this event
Roadsurfer is a travel tech company that rents campervans and RVs across Europe, the US, and Canada.
They started with a handful of Metabase users and grew it to 400+ people across a 1,000-person company. In this session, we'll ask Roadsurfer's Lead Data Engineer, Alejandro, what made that adoption work: why Metabase stuck when other tools didn't, how they trained people, and how self-service didn't spiral into chaos.
