Connect Azure Synapse and
Looker with AI

Redbird AI syncs Azure Synapse with Looker automatically — no more manual exports, CSV uploads, or waiting for data teams to refresh datasets. Keep your LookML models, dashboards, and explores powered by live warehouse data without building custom pipelines.

What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Sync new Synapse dedicated pool tables to Looker as explores

When new analytical tables land in your Synapse dedicated SQL pool, Redbird automatically generates LookML explores and registers them in Looker's semantic layer. Your business teams get self-serve access to new datasets without waiting for manual LookML authoring.

Update Looker dashboards when Synapse pipeline jobs complete

Trigger Looker dashboard refreshes the moment your Synapse integration pipelines finish loading data. Ensures executive dashboards and scheduled reports always reflect the latest warehouse state, eliminating stale metrics and manual refresh requests.

Alert data teams when Looker query performance degrades on Synapse

Monitor Looker query execution times against Azure Synapse and trigger alerts when specific explores or dashboards exceed performance thresholds. Redbird captures slow query patterns and routes notifications to your data engineering team for warehouse optimization.

Automatically create Synapse views from Looker's most-used explores

Track which Looker explores get queried most frequently and automatically materialize them as optimized views in Synapse. Reduces redundant computation and speeds up common business intelligence queries without manual view management.

Sync Synapse schema changes to LookML dimension definitions

When columns are added, renamed, or dropped in Synapse tables, Redbird propagates those schema changes to corresponding LookML dimensions and measures. Keeps your semantic layer in sync with warehouse reality and prevents broken explores.

Archive Looker usage metadata to Synapse for analytics

Capture Looker query history, dashboard views, and user activity logs and load them into Synapse for long-term analysis. Build internal analytics on BI adoption, most-valuable datasets, and user engagement patterns using your own warehouse infrastructure.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Azure Synapse and Looker with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird understands Azure Synapse's distributed SQL architecture and Looker's LookML semantic layer — so it can intelligently map warehouse schemas to BI definitions without brittle scripts.

AI that understands data warehouses and semantic layers

Redbird reads Synapse table schemas, distribution keys, and partition strategies, then maps them to Looker's LookML dimensions, measures, and joins. It knows when a Synapse fact table should become a Looker explore, when to create derived tables for complex metrics, and how to handle schema evolution across both systems. You get intelligent syncing that respects your warehouse design and BI governance model.

Faster than building custom Python scripts to sync Synapse metadata with LookML

No Airflow DAGs, no schema parsers, no manual dimension authoring

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Azure Synapse and Looker simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either Azure Synapse or Looker.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from Azure Synapse into Looker, or from Looker back into Azure Synapse. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start automations from any event in Azure Synapse or Looker — from pipeline completions to dashboard queries.
