Data on Autopilot: An Overview of Devops with dbt
Explore how DevOps, particularly CI/CD, pipelines with dbt can enhance your data workflows. By automating data transformations, testing, and deployments, organizations can achieve faster, more reliable insights while minimizing manual errors. This discussion will highlight the importance of integrating DevOps practices into analytics engineering. It will cover the fundamental concepts of DevOps and CI/CD with dbt, before delving into some more advanced workflow examples and finishing with the latest advanced CI features announced at Coalesce 2024. The goal is to empower attendees to streamline data processes and make their pipelines work for them, on autopilot.
