"Look at these beautiful dbt models! Why are we still experiencing the same friction with stakeholders?" This talk from experts at dbt Labs argues that we solved the first stage of building "Transformations" (via the 2024 State of Analytics Engineering report) and now we're now in the second stage: "The Philosophy of Transformations". And all roads lead to "metrics".

Andrew Escay Lead Data Analyst dbt Labs
