⚙ Full Stack
A Python/Flask backend with a React frontend, backed by a metadata PostgreSQL/MySQL database, Redis for caching and Celery task queuing, and connectors to virtually any SQL data warehouse for querying.
📈 Scaling Analysis
The Flask webserver and Celery workers scale horizontally independent of the underlying data warehouses being queried, since Superset itself stores only metadata — the real scaling ceiling is usually the performance of the connected data source, not Superset's own architecture.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Deploy web, Celery worker, Postgres, and Redis as separate pods connected via <podName>.pod:<port>; the app itself is stateless so it scales by replica count. Mirror.gcr.io covers the Python base image used in the official docker-compose setup.
