By the way - I don't discuss it in the post, but I have my own Metabase instances configured to scale to 0 so it costs me essentially nothing when I'm not using it!
Very nice.
Would be good to see a comparison of deploying in different ways.
Docker vs Kubernetes vs VM
I have an Ubuntu VM (not currently in Azure) that's running Metabase, Postgres and a Talend (data integration, just a jar). I like the control that gives me and it wasn't a huge leap from my normal Windows deployment. Not sure if it's worth the move to a container yet.
