Metabase is a fantastic open-source BI tool — it just needs a good database to point at. BeQuery gives it exactly that: a clean, verified, always-fresh PostgreSQL copy of your store, with none of the load hitting production.
Connect your MySQL database to BeQuery; it clones to PostgreSQL.
Enable external connections and copy the PostgreSQL credentials from Settings.
New database → PostgreSQL → paste the host, database and credentials.
Point Metabase at your team schema and build dashboards on live-cloned data.
External PostgreSQL connections are available on higher tiers — see pricing. The clone itself works on every plan.
Yes. External connections are scoped read-only to your team's schema.
