dbt Fusion engine on-demand demo

When you make a small SQL change, you shouldn’t have to rerun your entire project or wait for the warehouse to confirm what you already suspect.

The dbt Fusion engine changes that. It understands your SQL before it runs, validates code instantly, and only executes what’s actually changed. The result is faster iteration, fewer wasted cycles, and lower warehouse costs—without sacrificing accuracy or confidence.

In this on-demand demo, you’ll see how the dbt Fusion engine transforms the development process. Watch how its Rust-based architecture improves performance, how real-time validation in VS Code catches issues before they reach production, and how state-aware orchestration intelligently skips redundant runs. You’ll also see what the new dbt Studio experience looks like with the dbt Fusion engine at its core, built to help you move quickly from local development to production-ready data models.
