Join us as we share our journey of migrating from dbt Core to dbt Cloud. We'll discuss why we made this shift – focusing on security, ownership, and standardization. Starting with separate team-based projects on dbt Core, we moved towards a unified structure, and eventually embraced dbt Cloud. Now, all teams follow a common structure and standardized requirements, ensuring better security and collaboration.

In our session, we'll explore how we improved our data analytics processes by migrating from dbt Core to dbt Cloud. Initially, each team had its way of working on dbt Core, leading to security risks and inconsistent practices. To address this, we transitioned to a more unified approach on dbt Core. This year we migrated dbt Cloud, which allowed us to centralize our data analytics workflows, enhancing security and promoting collaboration.

For scheduling we manage our own Airflow instance using AWS EKS. We use Datahub as data catalog.

Key points: Enhanced Security: dbt Cloud provided robust security features, helping us safeguard our data pipelines. Ownership and Collaboration: With dbt Cloud, teams took ownership of their projects while collaborating more effectively. Standardization: We enforced standardized requirements across all projects, ensuring consistency and efficiency, using dbt-project-evaluator.

Learn best practices, challenges, and outcomes the NBA experienced as they scaled from zero to 35 monthly active contributors to their dbt Cloud project over the course of one year. Keelan will review the state of analytics before dbt, and how widespread adoption has resulted in improved uptime, time to value, and organizational trust in data. He'll share specifics of the challenges faced, and how they were able to implement best practices and new organizational norms at various stages of the journey to combat these workflow and cultural hurdles. He'll also share the frameworks he and his team built and standardized on as they democratized data analytics to dozens of practitioners, and how they capitalized on small pockets of "ah-ha!" moments to translate it into lasting behavioral change.
