You might have heard about how we're planning to do more feature demos as part of the releases, to pair with this I'm also going to be doing “Meltano in Action” demos which are more focused on examples of using Meltano. These will be more implementation reference videos, explaining things we’re doing with the Squared repo, testing out new plugins before they’re officially added, etc. I made my first video yesterday about getting Lightdash installed as a custom (soon to be supported) analyzer plugin. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Awesome Pat! One more trick I found recently that's nice In your docker postgres install add

-e POSTGRES_DB=lightdash

and you won't have to run the create database sql command manually! 😄 Lightdash had some blog about it a while back, is mine 😄

@visch thanks for linking that! In my demo I started the postgres instance with a

warehouse

database so that my

elt tap-gitlab target-postgres

had somewhere to load to, then I created a separate database inside the same postgres instance called

lightdash

for Lightdash to use as a backend, for isolation. I dont think that was totally clear in the video. I just wanted to demo as if I just finished following the getting started guide but wanted to add an analyzer

Version controlling reports / dashboards is going to be chef kiss
