dbt powers trusted data at scale for the world's largest companies

Don't get held back

Analytics is stuck in tabs, silos, and endless wait times.

Analysts need answers fast but are blocked by engineering bottlenecks or ungoverned point solutions. The result is tab-switching, rework, and unreliable insights. dbt replaces this with a governed, AI-powered workflow that helps teams move faster — with confidence.

Fragmented tools lead to security risks and duplicate work

Unreliable data creates rework and erodes trust

Lack of governance makes it hard to scale analytics

Move from discovery to insight, faster.

With dbt, analysts work alongside data teams using the same trusted standards where they can build, explore, and share, no matter their technical level. The result is faster decisions, fewer bottlenecks, and reliable insights.

We used to have outages on a regular basis where the organization wouldn’t have updated data for a whole day. This year, we’ve only had three or four minor hiccups that we could fix in a few hours.
