Architecting an Apache Iceberg Lakehouse
Apache Superset is an open-source web application for data exploration, dashboarding, and business-intelligence visualization.
- How it is used
- Visualizes SQL-accessible Iceberg data through interactive charts and dashboards for analytics consumers.
- How deep it goes
- Explains local startup, initialization, Dremio connectivity, and dashboard construction, while deferring broader protocol details.
- Examples
- Uses fashion sales charts, a sales dashboard, and local Docker services to demonstrate lakehouse consumption.
- What you can do after
- Build it from scratch by connecting Superset to Dremio and publishing interactive dashboards from Iceberg tables.

DuckDB in Action
Apache Superset is an open-source platform for exploring, querying, and visualizing data through web-based business intelligence interfaces.
- How it is used
- Provides a no-code interface for turning database data or SQL queries into interactive business-intelligence dashboards.
- How deep it goes
- Explains installation, database connection, dataset creation, chart configuration, dashboards, and export/import, without developing custom visualizations.
- Examples
- Uses an ATP tennis database, yearly match counts, and a cumulative trendline for Grand Slam winners aged 30 or older.
- What you can do after
- Build it from scratch by connecting DuckDB, defining datasets, creating charts, assembling dashboards, and exporting or importing configurations.
