dbt
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.

VertiPaq Analyzer
The VertiPaq Analyzer is a powerful tool for examining the storage structures within a data model in Power BI and Analysis Services Tabular. It includes measures for various segments and partitions, such as pageable, resident, refresh date, and last access. Analysis Services offers a range of Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) to gather insights about the memory utilized by a data model. For instance, the DISCOVER_OBJECT_MEMORY_USAGE DMV reveals details about all objects currently residing in memory. This type of DMV can also be employed to monitor a Multidimensional instance of Analysis Services effectively. A notable contribution by Kasper de Jonge is the BISM Memory Report, a sample model that presents this information hierarchically, allowing users to easily identify the most resource-intensive databases, tables, and columns on a server. Should you wish to delve deeper into a specific database, additional detailed insights are accessible through other DMVs designed for this purpose. Understanding these tools and their capabilities can significantly enhance your data management strategies.
