I believe that we’re working on a similar product that you described. Our metrics layer, metriql, extends dbt for metrics definitions and provides an open-source CLI that serves your metrics to the data tools.

We have REST API and use Trino protocol so in case you support Trino (formerly Presto) you already support metriql. :)

Thanks for posting! Is metriql entirely open source, or just the CLI? How do you plan to make revenue?

We use BSL license and metriql is free with a single database target. If you want to connect multiple dbt projects in a single deployment, you need to go through the sales cycle.

We work with ETL vendors that use metriql to make revenue with our BI tool integrations so we picked BSL license to be able to structure our business model in a way that you should be required to pay only if you're reselling metriql to your customers. We have plans to build a managed Cloud version as well.

You can find the license here: https://github.com/metriql/metriql

Look at that! Yeah, I love it. That's exactly what I was thinking of.

Trino is on the to-do list!
