🗣️Presentations:

to dbt or not to dbt
dbt has become king in the world of data transformations, but is it here to stay? We’ll explore how dbt’s competitors are trying to distinguish themselves, and how dbt is responding to the competition.

dbt @ Immoscoop
Presentation on how our data platform changed before and after the introduction of dbt. We’ll explore how dbt helped us manage our data warehouse and drive Immoscoop’s strategy, touching on model types, materializations, semantic layers, and more.
