Open Data Infrastructure in practice: unlock your dbt projects with Apache Iceberg and mesh

Most dbt projects are "locked into" a single remote data warehouse for three primary reasons:

 • Data storage

 • SQL dialect

 • Difficulty of self-hosting a query engine

With dbt + Apache Iceberg, it's never been easier to "unlock" your project: with data in open table formats (Iceberg), dbt v2's multi-dialect support, and innovations with DuckDB, organizations have a flexible foundation to run their dbt projects across platforms and engines. Join this session to get an overview and demo of how these components come together to deliver Open Data Infrastructure for improved choice, better collaboration, and optimized costs.
