dbt (data build tool) helps analysts write reliable, modular code using a workflow that closely mirrors software development.
A dbt project primarily consists of "models". These models are SQL select statements that filter, aggregate, and otherwise transform data to facilitate analytics. Analysts use dbt to aggregate pageviews into sessions, calculate ad spend ROI, or report on email campaign performance.
These models frequently build on top of one another. Fortunately, dbt makes it easy to manage relationships between models, test your assumptions, and visualize your projects.
