About Lightdash
Lightdash keeps sanding down the edges of self-serve BI, chart by chart.
Lightdash is a dbt-native BI tool, and its recent releases are a steady stream of charting and modeling refinements rather than big swings. The last six ship date-zoom inside custom SQL, new Sankey layouts, multi-level color palettes, display row and column limits, preview-project cleanup, and audit-logged admin impersonation. The common thread is reducing friction for analysts who already live in the tool.
