Deep dives

The Power of DBT in Data Engineering

DBT, or Data Building Tool, plays a crucial role in streamlining data modeling and documentation workflows for data engineers. It transforms raw data into a structured format suitable for analysis, allowing users to write SQL and incorporate business logic directly into their data models. This tool enhances collaboration between data teams and stakeholders by embedding definitions and agreed-upon logic, resulting in improved clarity and understanding. With features like automated documentation and field definitions, DBT not only simplifies model creation but also ensures transparency and consistency across different teams.
