📣 If you want something a bit more, then head on over to our Slack Community where you’ll be able to chat directly with all of us at Lightdash and all the other amazing members of our community. We’re happy to talk about anything from feature requests, implementation details or dbt quirks to memes and SQL jokes!
You can also keep up to date with Lightdash by following us elsewhere:
We let you define your metrics and dimensions directly in your dbt project, keeping all of your business logic in one place and increasing the context around your analytics.
No more deciding which of the four different values for total revenue is the right one (you can thank us later 😉).
We want everyone at your company to feel like they can trust the data. So, why not show them that they can?
We bring the context you want around data quality into your BI tool so people know that they can trust the data.
With Lightdash, you can leave the SQL to the experts. We give your data team the tools they need to build metrics and dimensions that everyone else can use.
So, anybody in the business can combine, segment, and filter these metrics and dimensions to answer their own questions.
Lightdash is built with our community, for our community.
We think that a BI tool should be affordable, configurable, and secure - and being open source lets us be all three 🙂
Love Looker, but don't love Looker's price tag?
With Lightdash, we offer a free self-hosted service (it's all just open source!), or an affordable cloud-service option if you're looking for an easy analytics set up.

We're planting trees with the help of the Lightdash community.
Tree planting is one of the simplest and most cost-effective means of mitigating climate change, by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. So we thought it would be pretty neat to grow a forest while we grow Lightdash.
Want to help us grow our forest?
Just star this repo! We plant a tree for every star we get on Github. ⭐️ ➡️ 🌱
We plant trees with TIST, you can read all about them here: https://program.tist.org/.
We love contributions big or small, check out our guide on how to get started.
