A strategic approach to testing with Data Products in dbt
With data teams' growing ambition to build business automation, AI systems, or customer-facing products, we must shift our mindset about data quality. Mechanically applied testing will not be enough; we need a more robust strategy similar to software engineering.In this talk, I outline a new approach to data testing and observability anchored in the ‘Data Products’ concept and walk through the practical implementation of a production-grade analytics system with dbt as the backbone.The learnings will be applicable for data practitioners using dbt no matter if they're just getting started or work in a large enterprise.

Lessons from setting up 100+ teams’ data stacks
A distillation of some of the lessons I’ve learned from helping more than 100 teams build or migrate their data stacks to be usable by their organisations.
