What do you like best about dbt?

The most and best things i like in dbt are it not only helps in creating transformations but can also helps in managing and performing transformations in a view and integrates easily with Big-query

i can use and configure the transformation as per the object like table,view or incrementalalong with features like auto-generated lineage graphs and can perform native testing with few lines of codes in a YAML file and can able to re use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about dbt?

1. The documentation it generates when all the models are designed. It clearly defines which intermediate and final layers are connected to each other.

2. The incremental model runs greatly helped me in optimizing large data models as I was dealing with billions of rows of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about dbt?

At it's core, DBT aligns three technologies to deliver knowledge better: SQL, YAML, & Jinja. You can do a lot with just SQL and YAML. Adding in Jinja makes SQL feel a lot more like traditional development. I kinda missed that. It's like seeing an old friend that you really liked but haven't seen for a while.

dbt is magic for transforming and modeling data. It's a platform that allows us to wrangle, shape, and organize the data to model the business. With the help of DBT, we can implement the principle of separation of concerns to organize and manage our transformations.

One of the key tools DBT offers is Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), maps that illustrate the path our data takes from source to the final destination. These maps illustrate the data transformation arc. We start with the source data, which is often messy and unrefined. We use DBT to perform a series of transformations, taking the data on a journey from a multiverse of chaos to a world of understanding. We clean the data, apply business rules, and ensure the data conforms to our business dimensional models. These models or core business logic serve as the foundation for reporting.

As we progress along the transformation arc, our data starts to take shape. We can build data marts for specific business areas or functions. These data marts are built with our business dimensional models, ensuring that the data is structured in a way that supports efficient analysis and reporting.

Reporting on top of our business dimensional models. With the data now organized and modeled in a meaningful way, we can unlock valuable insights and empower decision-makers with actionable information . . . at scale. We can slice and dice the data, apply filters, and drill down into specific dimensions to understand trends, patterns, and outliers. The reports we develop are consistent because they come from a single source of truth, the business dimensional model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about dbt?

dbt requires a mindset change. You have to buy into how they think about modeling. It's opinionated. dbt is method-agnostic (data vallt, mesh, kimball). But structure matters and you need to spend some time to understand dbt's mindset around stricture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about dbt?

It would be good if dbt made it easier for new folks. It can do a lot with data stuff, but figuring how to set it up and use all its cool things can feel hard at first. More intuitive guides or a simpler way to learn the basics would make it nicer for people just starting with data changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
