You can use Lightdash to build dashboards and explore data directly from your dbt models. It connects to your data warehouse and reads your existing metrics definitions, ensuring everyone works with consistent numbers. Team members can run custom queries, build interactive charts, and create shareable reports without writing complex SQL. It also supports scheduled report deliveries to Slack and email, automated alerts, and chart versioning through Git. Data teams can self-host the code or use the managed cloud service with unlimited user access.
