dbt State: build what's changed, skip what hasn't

dbt State brings intelligent state awareness to every model run. By checking warehouse metadata and model SQL before executing, it automatically decides whether to build, skip, clone, or defer each model — so you're only running what actually needs to run. The result: lower warehouse compute costs, faster development cycles, and no brittle manual workarounds. Works out of the box with dbt Core and the dbt platform.
