Description:

You’re probably familiar with the dbt-utils package, but how many others have you explored? If you’re looking to cut development time, make your next audit less painful, or wield dbt metrics confidently, join Elize and Dave as they dig into three of their most essential dbt packages—codegen, audit_helper, and metrics —in this hands-on workshop.

You’ll learn how to:

Navigate dbt package hub for useful macros, tests, and more to create DRY-er dbt projects
Use codegen to generate yml and staging models
Use audit_helper to make changes to models with confidence
Use metrics to query metrics nodes in a predictable way
