Overview of dac

What it is

DaC is a dashboard-as-code tool for defining, validating, and serving dashboards from YAML and TSX. It supports major databases via Bruin, including Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, and more. It includes a built-in semantic layer where metrics and dimensions are defined once in a semantic/ directory and referenced from any widget; DAC generates the SQL. The tool is designed for AI agents to build dashboards in a reliable and reviewable way.
