getdango 1.0.2

Open source data platform built with production-grade tools - dlt, dbt, DuckDB, and Metabase

Dango

Open-source data platform for small teams.

Dango gives you a complete data stack — ingestion, warehouse, transformations, and dashboards — in a single CLI. It combines dlt for data loading, DuckDB as the analytics database, dbt for SQL transformations, and Metabase for dashboards. One pip install, one command to start.

Upgrading from v0.1.x? v1.0.0 is a complete rewrite. Back up your data and run dango init to create a new v1 project. See the migration guide for details.

Quick Start

Prerequisites: Python 3.10-3.12, Docker (for Metabase)

mkdir my-project && cd my-project
pip install getdango
dango init
dango start

Open http://localhost:8800 to see your data platform.

Or use the install script:

curl -sSL https://getdango.dev/install.sh | bash

For detailed installation instructions, see the documentation.
