weird that dbt is mentioned in 'big database' funding. Also suprised to see the huge investment in dbt.
- rorymalcolm 4y agoI think it makes sense in the context of the poential of plain old SQL (and additions such as dbt) winning out vs Python or other general purpose programming solutions as the analytics workbench (although this is controversial, there's a school of thought that backs it).
- sa46 4y agoSlightly off topic, would someone mind providing a down to earth summary of the benefits (or disadvantages) of dbt? To ape the infamous iPod and Dropbox middlebrow dismissals: dbt looks like a control loop with a nice UI to make a database schema match templated SQL files. More seriously, at what level of maturity would a company find dbt useful and which teams benefit the most?
