Real-time analytics at Bilt: architecture and approach

Bilt's merchant partnerships depend on real-time audience segmentation and offer execution across Property Management and Hospitality verticals. That requires data that's current, tested, and reliable, not batch-processed hours later.

This session covers how Bilt's data team implemented real-time analytics using dbt Core and Materialize to power an audience and offer execution engine at the core of the business. You'll see how analytics engineering best practices apply to streaming data, the architecture behind serving real-time offers to merchant partners, and the practical tradeoffs of running production analytics on a streaming foundation.
