superset.wmcloud.org is unsupported and will be shut down soon

Summary:

The Cloud Services implementation of Superset 
(https://superset.wmcloud.org) is currently unsupported by WMF staff. We 
would welcome a volunteer stepping up to maintain it, but without a new 
home the service will be shut down at the end of March.

If you would like to take on ownership of this service, please reach out 
to WMCS staffor comment on the phabricator task[1]. The day-to-day 
maintenance load is minimal, but someone will need to keep track up 
updates, security concerns and a potential future of defense against AI 
scraping.

Background:

There has always been demand from researchers and volunteers to run 
one-off queries against Wikimedia datasets. Quarry.wmcloud.org was built 
and launched by the WMF more than 10 years ago. Originally a one-person 
skunkworks project, it quickly caught on in popularity as one of the 
most trafficked services run by Wikimedia Cloud Services.

A few years ago, we launched superset.wmcloud.org[0] as an intended 
Quarry replacement. We soon learned that despite being a less polished, 
home-made tool, Quarry provides many features that Superset does not, 
and most users resisted migration away from it. Superset has only a 
handful of active users.

At this point, Superset is essentially unsupported by WMF staff. As part 
of ongoing efforts to improve our support for Toolforge and other more 
popular services we will be either shutting it off or transferring 
ownership of Superset in a few weeks[1].
