Connection with Metabase

Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool for exploring your data, building dashboards, and sharing insights. This quickstart shows how to connect it to a Sliplane database.

Tip

Sliplane has a one-click deploy preset for Metabase. Click the button below to deploy it in seconds and connect to your database without setting up your own server.

Deploy Metabase

Before you start

Open your database in the Sliplane dashboard and keep the Connection URI handy.

Connect

1. Open Metabase and click Databases in the left sidebar, then click Add a database.

2. Set Database type to PostgreSQL.

3. Fill Connection string with the Connection URI from the dashboard.

4. Enable Use a secure connection (SSL), set SSL Mode to verify-full, and add sslfactory=org.postgresql.ssl.DefaultJavaSSLFactory under Additional JDBC connection string options so the driver validates our certificate against the JVM’s trusted CAs.

   

5. Click Save. Metabase connects and begins syncing your database.

You can now explore your tables, write SQL questions, and build dashboards from your data in Metabase.
