As organizations increasingly adopt modern data stacks, the combination of dbt and AWS Analytics services emerged as a powerful pairing for analytics engineering at scale. This session will explore proven strategies and hard-learned lessons for optimizing this technology stack to use dbt-athena, dbt-redshift, and dbt-glue to deliver reliable, performant data transformations. We will also cover case studies, best practices, and modern lakehouse scenarios with Apache Iceberg and Amazon S3 Tables.

See how AI is shaping developer tools for the next generation. AWS Kiro provides a powerful general purpose IDE great for a wide variety of programming languages and tasks. Pairing Kiro with the dbt MCP Server makes this even more powerful by providing access to dbt specific functionality, context and agents. In addition to this, interact with an external agent deployed in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.
