Hey HN,
We're really excited to release the first public version of Lightdash!
Lightdash is an open source alternative to looker that lets analysts define data transformations and metrics in one place. Lightdash gives analysts a BI platform built on the open-source tools they already love (dbt).
Github: [https://github.com/lightdash/lightdash](https://github.com/l...
Demo: [https://www.loom.com/share/f3725e98ce4840bda3f719da647f58b0]...
Install: [https://docs.lightdash.com/getting-started/installation](htt...
We believe that the future of the modern data stack lies in having a single source of truth for all your metrics.
Tools like dbt have made it possible for analysts to manage their transformations using SQL. But existing BI tools still hide away lots of extra business logic, meaning that metrics get scattered across the company (you know those 5 different calculations of revenue XD) and data context gets lost between tools.
With Lightdash, your BI tool is fully integrated with your dbt project. This means:
- You define your metrics right beside the rest of your data transformations, in dbt.
Well done! I was actually looking for an open source LookML a while back and found Rakam[0]. It seems they added the dbt layer after the fact while you started with that concept. Product looks slick, good luck?
By the way, what happened with Hubble?
