Fast forward to 2022, with the support of every major cloud data platform and more than 30,000 members in the dbt community, dbt has become the de facto standard for how organizations build and deploy reliable datasets.

  • Stand out to recruiters seeking dbt expertise, with a digital badge that can be shared on your resume, social network profiles, and personal or professional website.
