Metabase Materialize Driver

Materialize driver for Metabase

[](https://materialize.com/s/chat)

The `metabase-materialize-driver` lets [Metabase](https://github.com/metabase/metabase) connect to an instance of [Materialize](https://github.com/MaterializeInc/materialize).

[!NOTE] With improvements to Materialize's PostgreSQL compatibility, you can now connect to Materialize directly using Metabase's default PostgreSQL driver. See the guide here: [Using Materialize with Metabase](https://materialize.com/docs/serve-results/metabase/).


To Use the Driver

With Docker

We provide a pre-built Docker image of Metabase including this driver as [materialize/metabase][] on Docker Hub. To use it, run:

docker run -p 3000:3000 materialize/metabase

With self-hosted Metabase

To use the `metabase-materialize-driver` with an existing Metabase installation, copy a `.jar` file from one of our [releases][] into the `/plugins` directory of your Metabase instance. Metabase will register the driver automatically! (For deployment-specific details, please consult the following sections.)
