@Rocky any future to include Lightdash in bi tools? docs.starrocks.io/docs/integrations/BI_integrations
r
Currently, Lightdash is not natively listed as a supported BI integration in the official StarRocks documentation, and StarRocks is not yet a built-in warehouse option in Lightdash. However, because Lightdash is "dbt-native" and StarRocks has an official dbt-starrocks adapter, there are two ways you can explore using them together: 1. Connection via Trino (Recommended Workaround) Lightdash officially supports Trino as a warehouse. Since StarRocks can be integrated with Trino (via the StarRocks connector for Trino), you can use Trino as a gateway: * Lightdash → Trino → StarRocks * This allows you to leverage Lightdash’s semantic layer while using StarRocks as the underlying high-performance engine. 2. Self-Hosted Community Adapters Lightdash is open-source, and some community members have explored adding custom adapters. If you are self-hosting Lightdash, you can technically implement or use community-contributed adapters, though these are not officially supported by either StarRocks or Lightdash. Future Support While there is no public timeline for a native StarRocks connector in Lightdash, both communities are active. You can track or request this feature in the following places: * Lightdash GitHub Issues * StarRocks Community Slack For now, the Trino gateway is the most stable path if you need to use Lightdash with StarRocks today.
