Who We Are

At dbt Labs, we have developed strong opinions on how companies should practice analytics.

Specifically, we believe that:

• Data analysts should adopt similar practices and tools to software developers
• Critical analytics infrastructure should be controlled by its users as open source software
• Analytic code itself — not just analytics tools — will increasingly be open source
