What is a Metric?

A metric is a SQL expression of business logic. It indicates how to perform a timeseries aggregation in order to calculate a KPI using a dataset. By creating metrics in Rasgo, you can standardize the logic of how to calculate KPIs for your organization.
Rasgo metrics are directly compatible with dbt metrics, and can be exported to your dbt project manually via our git integration.
