Metabase Product Roadmap

Highlights of what we’re cooking.

Now

Actively being built.

  • Revamped sync, scan and fingerprinting Much faster and lighter on your data warehouse

  • Model caching Improve performance by automatically writing the models you create in Metabase into your data warehouse – no pipeline needed.

  • Improved filtering experience More fluid UI, aware of what you’re filtering

  • Better individual record view Easier navigation, visual grouping and more

  • Better error display More useful, actionable errors whenever they’re unavoidable

  • Custom question parameterization Parameterize aspects of GUI-created queries and wire them up in dashboards

  • JSON records in more DBs BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift and more

  • See SQL for parameterized queries Understand the generated SQL for easier debugging

  • More embedding customization Custom fonts, custom colors, locale definition and more

  • Custom domains in Cloud Bring your own domain name for your Metabase Cloud instance

  • Country pinning in Cloud Pick the country where to host your Metabase Cloud instance.

Soon

Planned for the next release or two.

  • Granular timezone controls Transform timezones confidently. Plus a lot of date-related custom expressions niceties.

  • Revamped visualizations New visualizations, more granular options, better performance

  • Create and use Metrics Create, manage and share Metrics within Metabase. Trust your numbers.

  • Easy date comparisons Simplified comparisons over different timeframes

  • More expressivity in custom expressions Windowing functions, additional primitives, type casting

Later

Coming in the next 6 months or so.

  • JSON arrays in PostgreSQL, BigQuery and more Model and use JSON arrays as native concepts throughout Metabase, no SQL needed

  • Hot swap data sources Replace the table/model backing multiple questions in one go

  • Improved MongoDB driver Fine-grained sync control, better scan and more

  • Expanded auditing functionality Improved UI, alerting, more logged events

Keep in mind these are non-exhaustive plans and subject to change. Features may not be available in all plans.
