Meet with dbt

Built for modern data teams.

Meet with a dbt expert to get a personalized walkthrough of dbt. Whether you’re modernizing your data stack or scaling analytics across teams, we’ll show you how to build faster, more reliable data pipelines with dbt.

Why leading teams choose dbt:

Unlike legacy ETL tools, dbt brings software engineering best practices—version control, testing, CI/CD—directly into analytics workflows.

Centralizes your data logic in one place so teams stop rewriting transformations across pipelines and platforms.

Ensures consistency and trust by turning business rules into governed, reusable models instead of siloed SQL scripts.

Scales with your stack: dbt works natively with your cloud warehouse instead of duplicating compute or adding another proprietary layer.

dbt capabilities

dbt standardizes your approach to data modeling so you can ship trusted data faster. Learn how dbt capabilities help you transform data faster, cheaper, and more reliably.

Plan

Design and manage decentralized data models at scale with dbt Mesh. Define dependencies, enforce access policies, and maintain consistency across projects as your org grows.

Explore Plan

Develop

Studio IDE, VS Code extension, or dbt Canvas — write, test, and iterate in the interface your team prefers. Fusion delivers instant feedback and local SQL validation so you catch errors before they hit your warehouse.

Explore Develop

Deploy

State-Aware Orchestration skips models when source data hasn't changed — eliminating redundant compute and reducing warehouse spend. Schedule, monitor, and manage every job from one place.

Explore Deploy

Test & observe

Automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and real-time data health monitoring give your team full visibility into pipeline health — before problems reach dashboards or AI outputs.

Explore Test & observe

Discover

Trace column-level lineage, explore model dependencies, and give analysts the visibility to find and trust data on their own with dbt Catalog.

Explore Discover

Analyze

Centralize metrics with the dbt Semantic Layer. Whether powering BI, self-serve analytics, or AI agents via the dbt MCP Server, your metrics stay consistent and governed at the source.

What sets dbt apart

From the engine powering your pipelines to the AI your business depends on.

Built on the Fusion engine

dbt's next-generation Fusion engine delivers faster parsing, local SQL validation, and state-aware orchestration — so your team ships more with less compute. dbt Labs cut its own warehouse costs by 64% after migrating to Fusion.

AI-ready by design

The dbt MCP Server connects AI agents directly to your governed Semantic Layer — so every AI-generated insight is grounded in verified business logic, not raw tables or tribal knowledge.
