dbt
The open standard for modern, AI-ready data transformation

dbt is a data transformation tool that enables data teams to build, test, and deploy reliable data pipelines using SQL-based development. It combines real-time validation and stateful intelligence through its Fusion engine, supporting both local and cloud workflows. dbt integrates with major data platforms like Snowflake, Databricks, and Fivetran to help organizations standardize data quality, governance, and collaboration.
dbt lets teams write SQL-based data models with built-in testing and lineage tracking, then deploys them to cloud data warehouses via deep ecosystem integrations.
