The Ultimate Guide to dbt

So, we wanted to create a resource that summarized the key points to know about dbt, for beginners and experts alike.

For a week, I dove deep into every page of dbt's documentation, read over 40 articles, looked through countless reddit, discourse, and Slack threads, and asked for guidance from a few friends far more knowledgeable about dbt than I am.

The result is this canvas. If you're brand new to dbt, we hope it can give you a more thorough understanding of why it exists, and how people are using it. If you're already using dbt, then we hope you can learn a few new tips and tricks. And if you're an expert, then maybe you could let us know what we should add next!

How to contribute

Ideally, this is a living guide - one that will be just as relevant in 6 months as it is today. In order for that to happen, we'll need to rely on people submitting suggestions and new resources to be included.

You can send all contribution ideas to taylor[at]count[dot]co 🙌.
