From warehouse to alert in minutes. Not sprints.

01

Connect your warehouse.

Read-only. We never write to your warehouse.

Point Lighthouse at Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, or SQL Server. Read-only credentials. Lighthouse never writes to your warehouse or copies your tables.

Pick a dataset. Let AI suggest metrics.

Lighthouse scans your columns and proposes what to monitor.

Point at a table or view. Lighthouse reads the schema and proposes the metrics teams like yours actually watch, based on column types, cardinality, and patterns across thousands of datasets.

Sit back. Get pinged when something matters.

Adaptive thresholds. Zero noise. Real signals only.

Lighthouse watches every metric continuously, learns seasonal patterns and normal ranges, and alerts in Slack only when something genuinely moved. Fewer alerts than you have today, and every one will mean something.

Your analysts know what to watch. Lighthouse makes sure they never miss it.

Transactions, sessions, events, clicks: Lighthouse watches the KPIs behind them and pings you the moment one moves.

Fewer false alarms. Zero missed issues.

Lighthouse reviews your alert history and suggests fixes that cut the noise, but never one that would have missed a real issue.

What the AI examines

  • Threshold positioning vs. confirmed true/false positives
  • Consecutive-match gate (filters 1-run spikes)
  • Window size vs. event-count variance
  • Day-of-week & hour-of-day baseline drift
  • Snooze deduplication for long-running episodes

Add minimum value condition (> 0.3)

↓ 95%

Metric fires on micro-fluctuations near zero. Adding AND value > 0.3 eliminates statistical noise below meaningful levels.

Gate

Enable trigger after 2 consecutive matches

↓ 56%

14 of 25 triggers were 1-run spikes that self-resolved within the next window. No confirmed true positive had episode length < 2.

Gate

Enable trigger after 3 consecutive matches

↓ 72%

18 of 25 historical triggers recovered within 2 runs. All 7 confirmed true positives stayed matched for 3+ consecutive runs.

Before25After70 real issues missed

Applying suggestion #1 alone would reduce triggers from 157 to 8, a 95% drop with no confirmed true positives at risk.

Lighthouse is not…

Not Datadog.

Datadog watches your servers. Lighthouse watches your business. Different data, different audience, different kind of alert.

Not Monte Carlo.

Monte Carlo scans your tables for nulls, schema drift, and freshness issues. Lighthouse monitors your KPIs and business metrics: the signals your stakeholders actually care about. You can also use Lighthouse for technical metrics. But that's your choice, not its default.

Not another BI dashboard.

Dashboards wait for you to come to them. Lighthouse comes to you, in Slack, at the moment something actually moved.

Not an "AI analyst."

We don't replace your analysts. We remove the parts of their day spent babysitting dashboards and chasing false alarms.

Built for teams that can't afford to get this wrong.

  • Read-only by design.

    We connect with read-only credentials and only pull schema for dataset definitions. Your data stays in your warehouse.

  • Your metrics, your data.

    We process only the metrics you define. We don't explore your warehouse, mine your data, or store query results.

  • SOC 2 readiness in progress.

    Trust center, security policies, and PwC auditor engaged. Built for teams where compliance is non-negotiable.

Common questions

What is Lighthouse?
Lighthouse is a business metric monitoring platform. It connects to your data warehouse or product analytics tool with read-only access, lets you describe a metric in plain English, writes the SQL, learns each metric's normal range, and alerts your team in Slack when a KPI moves outside it.
How is Lighthouse different from data observability tools?
Data observability tools watch pipelines, tables and schemas. Lighthouse watches the numbers the business runs on, like revenue, transactions, signups, conversion and DAU, and tells your team when one of them changes, with the current value, baseline, compare period and segment in the alert.
Which data sources does Lighthouse connect to?
Snowflake, Google BigQuery, PostgreSQL, Amazon Redshift (through the PostgreSQL connection), Microsoft SQL Server, Mixpanel and any REST API. Looker is in private beta.
Do I need to know SQL?
No. Describe the metric in plain English and Lighthouse writes the SQL, or pick an aggregation from your dataset's columns. If you prefer, you can write or edit the SQL yourself.
Where do alerts go?
Slack, with interactive buttons, plus email and webhooks that can open a ticket or page on-call. Microsoft Teams is coming soon. AI assistants such as Claude Code and Cursor can work with your metrics through the Lighthouse MCP server, and there is a REST API.
Is my data safe?
Lighthouse connects with read-only credentials and never writes to your warehouse. It keeps schema metadata, the values of columns you filter on, and the results of your metric runs. It never copies or replicates your tables. Data is encrypted with TLS 1.2+ in transit and AES-256 at rest on U.S.-based infrastructure. SOC 2 Type II is in progress, with PwC engaged as auditor.
How much does Lighthouse cost?
There is a free plan for up to 5 metrics checked every 4 hours, with no credit card. Professional is $49 and Enterprise $99 per user per month, for more metrics and faster monitoring.
How long does setup take?
The quickstart takes you from sign-up to a first Slack alert in under 10 minutes, with no engineering ticket.
