Anyone using Lightdash in production? Is it actually a good Looker-style Business Intelligence tool if you’re on dbt?

I’m looking at **Lightdash** as an option that plugs into DBT (Data Build Tool) and lets you define metrics once (semantic layer) instead of rebuilding logic in every dashboard.

It sounds perfect in theory… but I’d love real-world feedback. Anyone used Lightdash? Can you please give me some insight?

**If you use Lightdash:**

- What stack are you on (dbt + BigQuery/Snowflake/Redshift/etc.)?

- Does it actually reduce “metric definition chaos” across teams?

- Any pain points (performance, permissions, modelling, adoption)?

- If you switched away from Metabase/Superset/Looker, why?

Thanks,

I am new here and looking forward to a community response.
