Accelerating and optimizing your deployment with dbt v2 and dbt State

Learn how dbt is evolving with the next-generation engine powered by Rust. In this hands-on session, you'll explore how dbt v2 has better performance, enables richer SQL parsing, and sets the stage for future enhancements like better refactoring tools and faster development workflows.

After this lab, you will be able to: 

• Describe what dbt v2 changes (and what stays the same) in day-to-day dbt development.
• Solve analytics engineering problems in a dbt v2-enabled environment and interpret results.
• Predict how changes in your model code and source data will influence runs when dbt State is enabled.

Prerequisites:

• dbt Fundamentals

What to bring: 

• You must bring your own laptop to complete the hands-on exercises.
• We will provide any required sandbox environments for dbt and the data platform.
