A Primer on dbt against DuckDB

Robin Moffatt shares a tutorial on dbt:

In 2022 I made a couple of attempts to learn dbt, but it never really ‘clicked’.

I’m rather delighted to say that as of today, dbt has definitely ‘clicked’. How do I know? Because not only can I explain what I’ve built, but I’ve even had the 💡 lightbulb-above-the-head moment seeing it in action and how elegant the code used to build pipelines with dbt can be.

In this blog post I’m going to show off what I built with dbt, contrasting it to my previous hand-built method.

I also had heard of dbt but haven’t really spent the time to learn it because I’m not really a data engineer. But this tutorial has me interested in diving in further.
