🗣️Presentations:

1) Containerized Deployment for dbt Projects Simplify your dbt workflows Enhance security Scale with ease Guarantee consistent performance Don't miss this opportunity to learn how containerized deployment can revolutionize your dbt projects.

by Jim Vekemans, Data Engineer at DataSense Data engineer at DataSense, with multiple large-scale dbt projects implemented at different clients.

2) Maintaining your conventions amid the chaos of dbt As dbt projects continue to grow in size and complexity it is becoming increasingly common for each organisation to have its own conventions, standards and ways-of-working. But how can these conventions be maintained as the dbt project continues to expand? Does chaos reign or can we use our engineering knowledge to maintain our conventions? Let’s examine several approaches to maintaining standards in a dbt project.

I work as an Analytics Engineer for a data consultancy, as part of this work I frequently help clients to orchestrate dbt Cloud jobs. As a result I’ve seen a lot of pain points that are encountered when doing this while at the same time I’ve seen a lot of different approaches to overcoming these pain points. Let's discuss open-source packages that can empower us in these experiences.
