Smarter pipelines, 29% more efficient: How the dbt Fusion engine optimizes data work

🌐 Global friendly sessions on December 3 & 4

Data leaders are facing a no-win situation: Accelerate data development to support strategic business initiatives and risk exploding cloud costs, or manage cloud spend and likely reduce data quality and trust, and limit AI opportunities.

Teams at Obie Insurance and Analytics8 are breaking out of that cycle with the dbt Fusion engine. Obie Insurance is utilizing Fusion as part of its broader modernization efforts, helping the team streamline development, save platform costs, and support the company’s growing analytics needs. Analytics8 is exploring Fusion in similar ways, evaluating how the engine can simplify workflows and improve efficiency across their internal data environment.

In this live virtual event, both teams will share how they’re rethinking their build strategies with state-aware orchestration — running and testing only what’s changed — and how Fusion is helping them reduce platform costs.

Hear how teams are using the dbt Fusion engine to:

Develop smarter and faster: Enjoy shorter compile times, easier debugging, and visibility improvements that streamline the entire workflow.
Improve quality of life for developers: See how features like column-level lineage, previews, and the VS Code Fusion extension make development more intuitive and enjoyable.
Run more cost-efficient pipelines: Learn how state-aware orchestration automatically skips unchanged models — leading Obie to see ~30% model reuse and meaningful compute savings.
Increase trust in data across the business: Discover how teams moved from brittle, multi-tool pipelines to a centralized, reliable dbt environment that consistently delivers accurate, on-time data.
