dbt State helps you build what's changed and skip what hasn't, but the questions that come up once you're actually running it rarely fit into a standard demo.

This session flips the format: a quick 10-minute refresher on how dbt State works (change detection, freshness SLAs, cloning, and where it runs across dbt platform, dbt Core v2, and the Core plugin), followed by 30 minutes of open Q&A with the product managers and engineers building dbt State. Bring your architecture questions, your edge cases, and your "will this work for my setup" scenarios. No pitch, just direct answers.
