Deploying Metabase on Kubernetes
Short summary
This guide deploys Metabase, an open-source BI tool, on Kubernetes with the Sakila sample dataset in MySQL. It covers creating Kubernetes deployments and services, building dashboards with SQL queries, and securing the deployment by switching from a public LoadBalancer to Nginx Ingress with cert-manager for automatic TLS. The result is a production-ready BI dashboard accessible over HTTPS.
