Apache Superset, Run For You
Enterprise dashboards without a BI procurement project
Superset is the dashboard layer trusted across the modern data ecosystem. PlaidCloud hosts, upgrades, and secures it for you, connected directly to your lakehouse tables, so you get enterprise-grade BI the day your data lands, not after a separate tool selection.
- Included with PlaidCloud, no per-seat BI licensing
- Reads governed lakehouse tables directly, no extracts
- Your roles and permissions control every dashboard
Need more than dashboards?
When a report needs inputs, custom logic, or its own workflow, build a full interactive HoloViz Panel app on the same governed data. Describe it to your AI and PlaidCloud builds and serves it, WASM or server-side.

What dashboard technology does PlaidCloud use?
PlaidCloud dashboards are built on Apache Superset, one of the largest open-source charting and dashboard platforms, customized and hosted inside PlaidCloud. It is included with the platform, so there is no separate BI license.
Is this a hosted Superset?
Effectively yes, and more: PlaidCloud runs and upgrades Superset for you, wires it to your governed lakehouse tables, and applies your workspace, project, and user-level access controls automatically.
Do dashboards show live data?
Yes. Dashboards query the same tables your workflows and models produce, so reports reflect the current state of the data with no export or sync step.
Can we still use Excel or another BI tool?
Yes. The PlaidCloud Excel connector gives two-way access to your model from web or desktop Excel, and other enterprise BI tools can connect to the same governed data.
