How to Win Friends and Influence People When Migrating to dbt
Introducing new tools into your company's tech stack can be a difficult and sometimes frustrating process. Based on our experiences, we've noticed that analysts and analytics engineers often have different ideas about what constitutes "better", "faster", and "quality" when it comes to data. In this talk, we discuss the do's and don'ts of dbt migration from two different perspectives: that of Marielle, an analytics engineer who introduced dbt and cloud data warehousing to the tech stack of two companies and always believed in their value to data teams, and Eva, a data analyst who initially disliked working with dbt but grew to love it over time. Ultimately, our goal is to help you win friends and influence people with a frictionless migration to dbt or other new tools in your tech stack.

Improving your Data Alerting Workflow
Managing the alerting workflow is no easy task as you scale. On the one hand you want to know about issues as they happen but at the same time you don’t want to end up flooded with data alerts that don’t get actioned. In this talk I'll dive into different type of dbt metadata you can surface in alerts such as ownership, importance and root cause analysis that can help you prioritise, resolve and debug issues faster.
