What is Fusion?
Fusion is the all-new engine powering dbt, and is a fundamental shift in how dbt understands and executes your analytics code. With Fusion you get a hyper-responsive development experience and built-in cost savings through dramatically faster performance and native SQL comprehension. The dbt VS Code Extension brings all the development experience enhancements of Fusion directly to VS Code. It’s the only way to unleash the full power of the dbt Fusion engine while developing locally.
Lightning-fast parse times
Fusion understands your SQL and validates it locally. Paired with the high-performing Rust language means parsing even the largest projects are up to 30x faster than with dbt Core.
Catch SQL Errors in Real Time
No more waiting for your platform to debug your code for you. Catch errors, like misspelled column names to save time debugging and avoid unnecessary warehouse expenses.

No more generating dbt docs to visualize lineage. Interact with a live visualization of your project’s lineage directly in VS Code or Cursor.
