Architecture Review.
Know Exactly Where Your Superset Stands.
A fixed-scope review of a running Apache Superset deployment: metadata database, caching and async queries, authentication, role-based access and dashboard performance. You get a written report with prioritised fixes, not a sales pitch.
One Engineer, Five Days, One Written Report
The review is scoped so you know exactly what you are buying before it starts.
Duration
5 working days
Format
Remote, read-only access
Investment
Fixed fee, agreed before kick-off
Output
Written report + 60-minute walkthrough
Included
- Configuration review: superset_config, metadata database, Celery workers, Redis cache and async query setup
- Query and dashboard performance analysis from your logs and your slowest charts
- Authentication, SSO and role-based access review, including row-level security rules
- Upgrade readiness: version gap, security advisories that apply to you, deprecated features in use
- Prioritised findings: what to fix this week, what to fix this quarter, what to leave alone
- Walkthrough call with the engineer who did the review
Not included
- Implementing the fixes (quoted separately, or handled under Managed Support)
- Dashboard redesign or new dashboard development
- Data warehouse or ETL performance outside Superset itself
- Any licence: Superset stays open source and stays yours
What We Examine
Six areas where production Superset deployments most often go wrong, checked against your configuration and logs.
Metadata Database
Schema health, migration state, connection pooling and backup posture of the database Superset itself runs on.
Caching & Async Queries
Redis and Celery configuration, cache warm-up, timeouts, and whether long queries are blocking your web workers.
Authentication & SSO
How users get in: OAuth, SAML, LDAP or database auth, session handling, and who still has admin rights.
RBAC & Row-Level Security
Role design, dataset permissions and RLS filters, checked against who should actually see what.
Dashboard Performance
Slowest charts and queries, filter design, chart count per dashboard, and the fixes that make the biggest difference.
Upgrade Readiness
Version gap to current Superset, security advisories that apply to you, and features in use that will break on upgrade.
How the Review Runs
Access & Inventory
Read-only access to configuration, logs and the metadata database. We list every database connection, dataset, dashboard and role.
Configuration & Log Review
Your setup is compared against a production checklist, and we read the slow-query and error logs for the last 30 days.
Findings & Priorities
Every finding gets a severity, an effort estimate and a recommendation. Nothing is padded to look busy.
Walkthrough & Roadmap
A 60-minute session with your team to go through the report and agree what to do first.
Request your Architecture Review
Tell us a little about your deployment. A Superset engineer replies within one working day to confirm scope and fee.
What happens next
- A reply from a named engineer within one working day
- A short call to confirm scope, access and the fixed fee
- Report and walkthrough within five working days of access being granted
No mailing list, no automated drip. Your request goes to the Superset team and a named engineer replies.
Architecture Review Questions
No. The review runs on read-only access to configuration files, logs and the metadata database, plus a viewer-level Superset login. If you cannot grant direct access, we work from exported configs and log extracts.
