This is interesting https://github.com/lightdash/lightdash (linked from Tristan’s Data Science Roundup). Meltano was a bit ahead of its time with the m5o model layer 🤔

looks cool. I like that it's stateless and only dependent on static definitions in the dbt yaml files

Super exciting! I love the approach and excited to look into this. The BI-frontend space is ripe for dataops-compatible tools, and dbt has proven the appetite and value of this approach. As I noted here, Power BI and the likes are being told by their customers to separate the model from the data, and to support formats that are friendlier with source control and proper CI.
