What happens when a hackathon project becomes one of the most influential open-source BI tools in the world?
In this episode, we sit down with Max Beauchemin — creator of Apache Superset and Apache Airflow — and Evan Rusackas from Preset, the company behind Superset’s enterprise evolution.
We explore:

Why geospatial data is more than just maps — it’s a core analytical dimension
The design philosophy behind Superset: from SQL-first thinking to visual storytelling
Lessons from building geospatial capabilities into dashboards with Deck.GL and H3
The future of BI, and why the open ecosystem is winning
