- A **lightweight semantic layer** for quickly defining custom dimensions and metrics
- Out of the box support for **nearly any SQL** database or data engine
- A wide array of **beautiful visualizations** to showcase your data, ranging from simple bar charts to geospatial visualizations
- Lightweight, configurable **caching layer** to help ease database load
- Highly extensible **security roles and authentication** options
- An **API** for programmatic customization
- A **cloud-native architecture** designed from the ground up for scale

## Supported Databases

Superset can query data from any SQL-speaking datastore or data engine (Presto, Trino, Athena, [and more](https://superset.apache.org/docs/databases)) that has a Python DB-API driver and a SQLAlchemy dialect.

Here are some of the major database solutions that are supported:
