Why dbt?
dbt allows your team to prepare data for analysis in a way that’s centralized, modular, and entirely open — all inside your cloud data platform.
The outcome: consistently dependable analytics for your organization. Less data downtime, a shorter request backlog, and most importantly, better business decisions across the board.
Centralized
dbt centralizes your business logic, making collaboration and updates easy. It transforms your data inside your cloud data platform — never moving it.
Modular
dbt breaks business logic into modular chunks that are easy to build on. Built-in testing ensures data quality, while documentation provides shared context.
Open
dbt is open-source and compiles directly into transparent SQL. It's supported by a thriving and growing community.
"dbt makes it easier to do data modeling the right way, and harder to do it the wrong way."
"The new workflow with dbt and Snowflake isn't a small improvement. It's a complete redesign of our entire approach to data that will establish a new strategic foundation for analysts at JetBlue to build on. "
"With built-in tests, simple job scheduling, and easy deployment, dbt Cloud enabled us to focus on the business case rather than spending time on our data architecture setup."
Define transformations in code
Code-based transformations offer unmatched flexibility, allowing everyone on the data team to collaborate in a common language. dbt is SQL-first and requires nothing more than SQL familiarity to get started.
Treat data as a product
Using software engineering best practices like testing, version control, and documentation allows data teams to deliver higher quality data to the business. That’s why software engineering capabilities are built directly into the dbt workflow.
