What Is Dbt And Why Is It So Popular Intro To Data Infrastructure Part 3

What Is dbt?

Built by Fishtown Analytics (now dbt Labs), the data build tool or dbt allows data analysts, data engineers and analytics engineers to execute the “transform“ step in the Extract-Load-Transform pipeline.

They can do this by writing transforms in SQL and executes it against its company’s database.

Dubbed as the “analytics engineering tool,” dbt is also open source and has become a regular part of the modern data stack of many companies. It also has had a solid support community formed around it.

About me:
I have spent my career focused on all forms of data. I have focused on developing algorithms to detect fraud, reduce patient readmission and redesign insurance provider policy to help reduce the overall cost of healthcare. I have also helped develop analytics for marketing and IT operations in order to optimize limited resources such as employees and budget. I privately consult on data science and engineering problems both solo as well as with a company called Acheron Analytics. I have experience both working hands-on with technical problems as well as helping leadership teams develop strategies to maximize their data.
