the ultimate dbt canvas...if that's even possible
I spent a week diving into every piece of documentation, tutorial, blog post, slack and reddit threads I could find in order to assemble this guide.
My hope is it's useful for dbt newbies, experts & everyone in between! 🤞

Don't just spot-check the final output of your data model. Following a subset of data through every step of your model is a powerful way to find bugs quickly and explain your model to tech & non-tech audiences

i see the Modern Data Stack™️ space has moved on from putting SQL in all the notebooks to putting it in Notion / Miro clones (@hyperquery / @counthq)

[Alex Monahan @__AlexMonahan__]

What if your analytics could truly work at the speed of your thought? Check out how @counthq upgraded to @DuckDB Wasm for lightning fast in-browser processing!

Not only is it fast, but it reduces cloud costs and Count scales more easily. A win-win!
