LookML to Redash Integration
AI-first ETL from LookML into Redash. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads LookML into Redash
Datrise syncs LookML's models, explores, views, dimensions, measures, and joins into Redash as SQL tables Redash queries and visualizes. Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns for query results, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as temporal columns.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental refresh of the connected tables, so re-runs update only what changed. Date-partitioned facts for scheduled queries. Redash caches query results on a schedule, so Datrise keeps tables incrementally fresh so cached dashboards reflect reality.
Ideal for lightweight, query-driven dashboards.
Endpoints
LookML: Semantic model definitions behind Looker content.
Redash: Open-source SQL client for queries, visualizations, and dashboards.
How LookML entities map to Redash
| LookML entity | Redash object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| models | lookml_models | id PK · custom fields → flattened columns for query results |
| explores | lookml_explores | id PK · linked to lookml_models |
| views | lookml_views | id PK · linked to lookml_models |
| dimensions | lookml_dimensions | id PK · linked to lookml_models |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle LookML's custom fields in Redash?
Flexible values are stored as flattened columns for query results, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Redash types.
How does the LookML to Redash sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses incremental refresh of the connected tables.
