The history and anatomy of Apache Superset

Open source projects can become complex living organisms that grow and bring large communities together. As Apache Superset grows to be 4 year old, we look back on the journey that brought the project to where it is today. More generally, we'll explore what it takes to grow an open source project, a community and a movement. We'll look at a retrospective of the design decisions, technology choices and engineering challenges that have shaped Superset. We'll also take a deep look into the current challenges the community is currently facing, and peak at what is ahead.
