In a world where creating new models in as easy as creating new files, and creating links between those models is as easy as typing ref, a directed acyclic graph (DAG) can get pretty unwieldy!

A complex DAG makes it difficult to understand the upstream and downstream dependencies of a particular table.

The goal is to create a modular data model using staging models (base_, stg_) and marts models (int_, dim_, fct_).

In this video, Christine Berger of Fishtown Analytics will teach you how to apply the concepts of layering and modularity to your dbt project, all with a fun kitchen metaphor to keep things fresh!
