Lightdash

Lightdash is an open source business intelligence platform designed for data teams working with dbt. It reads metrics and dimensions from dbt projects and manages charts and dashboards as code, allowing teams to define metrics once and reuse them across visualizations. The tool connects directly to dbt workflows, enabling developers to build dashboards programmatically rather than through manual configuration. Lightdash provides a way to generate business insights from data models defined in dbt without requiring separate metric definitions across multiple tools.

The platform is open source and available for free to get started. A pricing page is available for teams evaluating commercial options or additional features. Lightdash is built for modern data teams that want to treat analytics infrastructure similarly to how they manage application code, integrating metrics definition and dashboard creation into their existing dbt-based workflows.
