Lightup

aid: lightup
name: Lightup
description: Lightup Data, Inc. is an enterprise data quality and data observability platform that lets data teams detect,
  diagnose, and resolve data issues across cloud and hybrid data stacks. The platform runs pushdown data quality checks (DQIs)
  directly against customer datasources — Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, Postgres, Athena, Oracle, Teradata, SAP
  HANA, Dremio, Incorta, ksqlDB and S3/Azure blob storage — so no customer source data is copied into the Lightup environment.
  Capabilities include zero-config auto metrics, sliced metrics, AI-based anomaly detection, data profiling, data reconciliation,
  data lineage, incident management, and an agentic interface (Lightup Agentic) that exposes the platform to MCP-compatible
  AI agents. Lightup exposes a REST API for workspaces, datasources, metrics, monitors, incidents, integrations, dashboards
  and users, a Python CLI (lightctl), an Airflow provider, and an official MCP server. Founded by Manu Bansal; backed by a16z;
  SOC 2 Type 2 and ISAE 3000 compliant.

  description: 'The Lightup REST API provides CRUD access to the platform''s core objects: workspaces, datasources, metrics,
    monitors, incidents (and incident comments), integrations, data catalogs, dashboard charts, metric datapoints, and users.
    Requests are authenticated with a JWT access token obtained by exchanging the refresh token from a downloaded Lightup
    API credential file. Most resources are scoped to a workspace and versioned through an api_version path segment.'
