# Lightdash

Lightdash is an open-source business intelligence platform that builds on a team's existing dbt project. Metrics are defined once in dbt and reused across charts, dashboards, scheduled reports and alerts. It can be self-hosted, used as a hosted cloud service, or deployed on-prem under the Enterprise plan.
