Cool Package, I Think: Utilizing and Customizing Fivetran dbt Packages - Coalesce 2023

The Fivetran Analytics Engineering team strives to make its dbt packages multi-faceted enough and functional for the majority of data teams, balancing flexibility against ease of implementation. This means that the packages should get you 80% of the way there out of the box, but you're not alone as you cover the final 20%!

Over the years, the team has further developed its understanding of the nuances of analyses and developed different methods for folks to easily tweak packages to their liking. This session will discuss passthrough columns, union macros, and overriding package models, and will teach you how to use these features to make Fivetran's packages work for you or even leverage the same patterns in your own work.
