Overview
Lightdash - Enterprise dbt-Native BI Platform with Support
Production-ready dbt BI platform bundled with PostgreSQL and S3 storage. Security-hardened with auto-restart, health checks, and encrypted EBS. Optimized for m5.large+ on EC2.
Pre-configured AMI. Docker Compose handles all services on first boot. Published by Waltsoft.
SECURITY: This AMI binds services to localhost only. Configure a reverse proxy (Nginx/Caddy) with HTTPS for production access. Change all default passwords immediately after launch.
IMPORTANT: The t3.micro free tier instance may not have sufficient resources for all workloads. GPU-accelerated, memory-intensive, or multi-container applications require t3.medium or larger. Performance varies by instance type. Waltsoft provides the pre-configured deployment only and does not guarantee upstream software functionality.
Highlights
- Bundled PostgreSQL 15 and MinIO S3 storage with automatic health monitoring and restart
- Security-hardened: IMDSv2 enforced, EBS encryption at rest, unique secrets per deployment
- Connect to Redshift, BigQuery, or Snowflake via native dbt project integration
