Announcing Looker Support in Foundational
Blog post from Foundational
Foundational aims to simplify and enhance the predictability of code development for data by fully supporting Looker, a leading business intelligence tool. This support ensures that any pull request, whether within Looker or other repositories, is analyzed pre-merge to assess its impact on Looker's dashboards and LookML code, thereby preventing potential data issues. Foundational provides automated, end-to-end column-level lineage that stays updated with the latest commits, offering clarity on dependencies across the entire data stack. The company addresses common challenges in business intelligence, such as scattered code, lack of git management, and siloed team structures, which often result in fragile BI systems. By offering contextual validation for every code change impacting data, Foundational helps developers immediately identify and address semantic issues or dashboard disruptions. Their unique approach includes understanding lineage from the source code, enabling developers to trace changes back to the exact code location, which is crucial for large-scale development and understanding project history.
