dbt's It's 5 o'clock Somewhere Series

We're constantly evolving our product — and what better way to show it off than a virtual happy hour? Grab a beer or your drink of choice and join dbt’s very own Savannah Chunn-Allnutt, Senior Solutions Architect on September 24th at 3pm ET as she shows off our newest features and releases.

This month's session tackles one of the most requested topics in the dbt community: advanced CI. Every pull request becomes an automatic checkpoint — running transformations against real data, validating tests, and catching breaking changes before they hit production. Slim CI takes it further, testing only what's changed so review cycles stay fast at scale. Savannah will demo advanced CI catching a breaking change in real time, followed by a live AMA.

So, bring your toughest advanced CI questions — we'll leave plenty of time at the end to dig into specifics and address them live.

Why join?

• See what features you have and aren't using yet.
• Sneak peeks at upcoming product releases and new features.
• Get a working session, not a sales pitch. Practitioner-to-practitioner — architecture, workflows, and real implementation questions.
• Low commitment. 20–30 minutes of content.

What to expect?

A quick, casual session designed to fit into the end of your Thursday — not add to it.

• 15–20 minute demo. A dbt solutions architect walks through Advanced CI— what it does, where it fits into your current setup, and how to actually use it.
• Live AMA. Bring your questions about your current setup, or anything blocking your team from getting more out of dbt.
• We'll always cover the topics that matter most. Every session tackles the questions we hear most from the field — real problems practitioners are actually facing.
