Introduction to dbt

What do you do when you've got a bunch of data to clean and merge in your data warehouse? Do you try and just manage a bunch of SQL scripts? Do you try and set up a complex DAG tool like Airflow?

In this talk, Paul will introduce dbt (data build tool), an easy tool for coordinating work in your DWH. With just some SQL queries and a few YAML files you can quickly and easily start building out table queries and relationships for all of your data.
