dbt Analytics

dbt, or data build tool, is an open-source transformation framework that enables data analysts and engineers to transform raw data in their warehouse using SQL and Python with software engineering best practices including version control, testing, documentation, and modular code organization. Its semantic layer capability defines business metrics in code that can be queried consistently across BI tools, and its cloud platform provides managed orchestration and observability for data transformation pipelines. Data teams at organizations with cloud data warehouses use dbt as the standard tool for the transformation layer of the modern data stack, turning raw warehouse data into reliable, documented analytics-ready models.
