- edmundsauto 4y agoAnalytics engineers are towards the end of data flow - they built data marts and dashboards, often using code.
- panda888888 4y agoYes, look up the company called dbt to learn more. (I don't work there or anything, it's just a popular tool and their website explains it well.)
- beckingz 4y agoCorrect. The idea is to have a role that sits right between data engineering and data analysis, ideally with a breadth that overlaps both.
- dataminded 4y agoAnalytics Engineering are folks that transform data in an ELT model. The most popular tool is DBT. I think the work will continue as companies embrace the idea of not writing custom ETL code anymore. The tools are super immature though. DBT is a huge improvement over the past but far from a final solution to the problem.
