Description

Looker reinvents the way business intelligence (BI) works by delivering an entirely new kind of data discovery solution that modernizes BI in three important ways. A simplified web-based stack leverages our 100% in-database architecture, so customers can operate on big data and find the last mile of value in the new era of fast analytic databases. An agile development environment enables today’s data rockstars to model the data and create end-user experiences that make sense for each specific business, transforming data on the way out, rather than on the way in. At the same time, a self-service data-discovery experience works the way the web works, empowering business users to drill into and explore very large datasets without ever leaving the browser. As a result, Looker customers enjoy the power of traditional BI at the speed of the web.

Description

dbt Labs is redefining how data teams work with SQL. Instead of waiting on complex ETL processes, dbt lets data analysts and data engineers build production-ready transformations directly in the warehouse, using code, version control, and CI/CD. This community-driven approach puts power back in the hands of practitioners while maintaining governance and scalability for enterprise use. With a rapidly growing open-source community and an enterprise-grade cloud platform, dbt is at the heart of the modern data stack. It’s the go-to solution for teams who want faster analytics, higher quality data, and the confidence that comes from transparent, testable transformations.

Data Pipeline

dbt serves as the backbone for the transformation segment of contemporary data pipelines. After data is brought into a warehouse or lakehouse, dbt empowers teams to refine, structure, and document it, making it suitable for analytics and artificial intelligence applications. With dbt, teams can: - Scale the transformation of unrefined data using SQL and Jinja. - Manage workflows with integrated dependency tracking and scheduling capabilities. - Build trust through automated testing and ongoing integration processes. - Map data lineage across models and columns for quicker impact assessments. By incorporating software engineering methodologies into pipeline development, dbt assists data teams in creating dependable, production-ready pipelines that expedite the journey to insights and provide data primed for AI utilization.

Data Preparation

dbt enhances data preparation by providing a structured and scalable approach for teams to clean, transform, and organize raw data within the warehouse environment. Rather than relying on isolated spreadsheets or manual processes, dbt leverages SQL alongside established software engineering practices to ensure that data preparation is consistent, dependable, and collaborative. Utilizing dbt allows teams to: - Clean and standardize their data through reusable models that are version-controlled. - Implement business logic uniformly across all data sets. - Conduct automated tests to validate outputs prior to making data available to analysts. - Document findings and share relevant context, ensuring that every prepared dataset includes lineage and definitions. By treating data preparation as a coding process, dbt guarantees that the datasets created are not merely temporary solutions but are reliable, governed assets that are ready for production and can grow alongside the business.

ETL

dbt revolutionizes the transformation aspect of ETL processes. By moving away from outdated pipelines and opaque transformations, dbt enables data teams to create, validate, and document their transformations directly within their data warehouse or lakehouse. With dbt, teams are equipped to: - Convert raw data into analytics-ready models utilizing SQL and Jinja. - Maintain data integrity through integrated testing, version control, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD). - Streamline workflows across teams by using reusable models and centralized documentation. - Utilize contemporary platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and Redshift for efficient and scalable transformations. By prioritizing the transformation layer, dbt allows organizations to accelerate the development of data pipelines, minimize data liabilities, and provide reliable insights more swiftly—complementing the ingestion and loading components of a modern ELT architecture.
