We both use dbt as the data modeling layer but we don't actually develop a standalone BI tool. Instead, we integrate to third-party BI tools such as Data Studio, Tableau, Metabase, etc.
We love Looker and wanted bring the LookML experience to existing BI tools rather than introducing a new BI tool, that's how metriql was born. I believe that Lightdash is a cool project especially for data analysts who are extensively using dbt but metriql targets users who are already using a BI tool. I'm not particularly sure which pages are identical, can you please point me?
- glogla 5y agoCompare https://metriql.com/introduction/creating-datasets https://metriql.com/introduction/creating-datasets and https://docs.lightdash.com/guides/how-to-create-metrics https://docs.lightdash.com/guides/how-to-create-metrics I though you are affiliated somehow, but looking at it now, it seems you just use the same documentation website generator :)
- buremba 5y agoAh, that makes sense! We use https://docusaurus.io/ https://docusaurus.io/ primarily because dbt uses it as well. :) It would be great if we can team up to build an open specification for the metric definitions though.
