Lightdash: Engineering-First Metrics in dbt That Save Time

Lightdash is a great tool if your team has bought into dbt. It is easy to manage and excels as an engineering-first platform because it defines metrics directly in dbt code. It also integrates well with AI agents and MCP clients which has been a great time-saver.

Modern, Intuitive Platform with Best-in-Class Support and Cutting-Edge Features

It's a very modern platform, and they're always building out cutting edge features. The support has been absolutely best in class, they are always receptive to feedback and very quickly roll out fixes. The UI is very intuitive and familiar from using platforms like looker. I found the self-hosting aspect very easy to setup and very flexible in terms of infrastructure backend. The API is very extensive and allows for lots of custom features to be built on top. They also have extensive AI features and an MCP that they're always working on. The native integration with the semantic layer in dbt has allowed for much more efficient development and testing.
