How is Metabase correctly pronounced?
Metabase is pronounced 'MET-uh-base' — three syllables, stress on the first. 'Meta' like the prefix meaning 'about', plus 'base'. In a technical interview: 'Our non-technical stakeholders self-serve dashboards through MET-uh-base connected directly to our data warehouse.'

How is Redash correctly pronounced?
Redash is pronounced 'REE-dash' — two syllables, stress on the first. The 're-' prefix suggests 'redo' or 're-visualise'. A common mistake is saying 'red-ASH'. In a technical interview: 'Our data team writes SQL queries in REE-dash and pins the result charts to shared dashboards.'

How is Superset correctly pronounced?

How is Grafana correctly pronounced?
Grafana is pronounced 'gruh-FAH-nuh' — three syllables, stress on the second. The 'a' in 'FAH' is broad (like 'father'). A very common mistake is stressing the first syllable as 'GRAF-uh-nuh'. In a technical interview: 'All our Prometheus metrics are visualised in gruh-FAH-nuh dashboards with alerting rules.'

Kibana is pronounced 'kih-BAH-nuh' — three syllables, stress on the second. The 'a' in BAH is broad. It is part of the Elastic Stack (ELK). In a technical interview: 'We ship application logs to Elasticsearch and visualise them in kih-BAH-nuh with saved search queries.'
