Hey Lightdash team, Giacomo here! šŸ‘‹šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹ I'm a Data Analyst at FINN, where we use Fivetran, BigQuery, dbt, Looker and recently also OpenClaw via Slack (users love it!). Using Looker, I discovered how beneficial it is when the semantic relationships between tables is tightly coupled with the visualisation layer, and how easy it is to edit/maintain these relationships in code with the advent of LLM coding tools: something that Lighdash nails perfectly, unlike other open source alternatives. While exploring how to recreate an open source equivalent of our data stack, I found out: • BigQuery -> DuckLake • Fivetran -> dlt • Looker -> Lightdash (but it does not support DuckLake yet) This brings me to opening an issue and submitting a pull request to add DuckLake support. If you see value in adding support for this lakehouse format, could you assign the
open-contribution
label to the issue and review the pull request? I'm happy to reshape it as needed and address any question you may have. Thank you and have a great day!

šŸ‘‹ Thanks for your message - someone from the Lightdash support team will get back to you asap. Feel free to add any additional context to the thread here in the meantime (screenshots, app version if you're self-hosting etc.).
Hey Giacomo, thanks for the kind words about Lightdash and what an impressive contribution! We've seen the issue and the PR. I'll flag both for the engineering team to review. Can't promise a timeline on when they'll get to it, but we really appreciate the thoroughness. The multi-backend testing and the structured commits make this much easier to evaluate. We'll follow up on the GitHub PR directly once the team has had a chance to look.

Hey @Giacomo Coletto, coming back to this. One of our engineers recently shipped support for DuckLake: [github issue]. This was shipped in the last hour, so it will be available on the next release of lightdash. If you're on cloud it will be automatically available; if self-hosted, you'll need to upgrade to the latest version.
