Metabase got you started. But your data has outgrown it.

Metabase is excellent open-source BI for early-stage companies. But as you scale (more tables, more teams, more questions) you hit the wall: no documentation layer, no data quality, no governance. Numbers on dashboards start contradicting each other. Myriade picks up where Metabase stops.

The startup data scaling wall

When you had 10 tables and 5 people, Metabase was perfect. Now you have 200+ tables, 15 teams asking questions, and nobody knows what half the columns mean. Dashboards built by different people show different numbers for the same metric. Your CTO is spending engineering time answering data questions instead of building product.

No documentation layer: Metabase visualizes data but doesn't explain what it means. As complexity grows, tribal knowledge becomes the only documentation, and it leaves when people do.

Contradictory dashboards: different team members build dashboards with different logic. Same question, different numbers. Nobody knows which one is right.

No data quality: Metabase doesn't detect duplicates, anomalies, or stale data. Wrong numbers silently reach decision-makers.

Self-service ceiling: non-technical team members can use pre-built dashboards but can't answer complex, ad-hoc questions. The engineering team becomes the data bottleneck.

Why scaling companies choose Myriade over Metabase

Why teams choose Myriade

The documentation layer Metabase never had

Myriade auto-documents your growing data estate: statistical profiling, data sampling, cross-table analysis. 90% documented in 72h. No more tribal knowledge as your only source of truth.
