Connect Looker and
PostgreSQL with AI

Redbird AI syncs your Looker semantic layer with PostgreSQL schemas, automates table monitoring, and keeps your LookML models in sync with database changes. Stop manually tracking schema drift and rebuilding broken explores when your database evolves.

What you can automate today

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

Auto-update LookML views when PostgreSQL schemas change

When columns are added, renamed, or dropped in PostgreSQL tables, Redbird automatically generates updated LookML view definitions and suggests dimension mappings. Your Looker explores stay in sync with source data without manual model rebuilding.

Write Looker query results back to PostgreSQL staging tables

Export aggregated Looker query results to PostgreSQL tables for downstream application use. Redbird schedules complex business logic calculations in Looker and materializes them as operational tables your apps can consume.

Alert when PostgreSQL performance impacts Looker query speed

Monitor PostgreSQL slow query logs and correlate them with Looker dashboard performance. When database queries exceed thresholds, Redbird notifies data teams with specific LookML explores that need optimization or indexing improvements.

Enrich PostgreSQL records with calculated Looker metrics

Apply centralized business logic from LookML to enrich raw PostgreSQL records. Redbird reads customer or transaction data from Postgres, runs it through Looker's metric definitions, and writes enriched records back with computed KPIs.

Archive historical Looker aggregate snapshots to PostgreSQL

Capture point-in-time Looker dashboard results and store them as historical snapshots in PostgreSQL tables. Redbird automates monthly or quarterly executive report archiving, preserving metric values before LookML definitions change.

Sync PostgreSQL metadata to Looker field descriptions

Pull column comments, data types, and constraint information from PostgreSQL system catalogs into LookML field descriptions. Redbird keeps your Looker data dictionary current with source database documentation automatically.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Looker and PostgreSQL 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's AI understands both LookML semantic models and PostgreSQL relational schemas, making it easy to keep your analytics layer synchronized with your operational database.

AI that reads LookML and PostgreSQL schemas

Redbird parses your LookML view definitions, explore joins, and derived table logic alongside PostgreSQL information_schema, foreign key relationships, and column constraints. When you connect Looker to PostgreSQL, Redbird maps dimensions to database columns, understands which explores query which tables, and detects when schema changes will break existing analytics models. The AI suggests LookML updates when PostgreSQL types change and validates that your semantic layer reflects the actual database structure.

faster to sync Looker models with PostgreSQL schema changes

No manual LookML editing, SQL schema comparisons, or broken explore debugging

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Looker and PostgreSQL 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 Looker or PostgreSQL.

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 Looker into PostgreSQL, or from PostgreSQL back into Looker. 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 Looker scheduled queries or PostgreSQL table changes and take action across your entire data stack.
