I just attended the #dbt community feedback session: first-class dbt snapshots. (session recording link below). It is awesome how dbt Labs is commited to improve the developer experience and willing to hear the community opinion, understand which are the pains we have, and how to solve it in the best way possible. The session had: - history of snapshots in dbt - the gaps in the current implementation of snapshots - future of snapshots - Q&A The session was led by Doug Beatty Grace Goheen and Jason Ganz We had some great discussions and I changed my point of view in some of them Recording of the session today for anyone that wasn't able to make it: https://lnkd.in/d7t__A2z Passcode: !9N6VXsv Feel free to contribute General discussion: https://lnkd.in/dUAPjhnu Specific issues and their current priorities: https://lnkd.in/diCmXuXA Followme for daily dbt content 🔶 #dataengineering #analyticsengineering

Models, sources, tests, docs, and deployment in dbt? This course helped me take my first steps into the world of dbt and gain a better understanding of it. Highly recommended for those looking to get started with dbt. It's really straightforward and very user-friendly: Thanks dbt Labs! #dbt #DataAnalytics

What else would I do on the weekend rather than watch a 5-hour course on new technology? 🤓 Totally worth it & big thanks to Kyle Coapman and analytics engineers from dbt Labs for creating such amazing learning materials. On another note (it struck me while watching the course): applying knowledge at work is a whole different experience rather than just studying it for fun... #dbt #dbtlabs #dbtskills #analyticsengineering #analyticsjourney #analyticalskills #analytics

Have you heard about the invocation_args_dict in #dbt? Some months ago, in the dbt's discourse forum, someone asked how they could make an on-run-end hook only trigger if the command were dbt run dbt run -> trigger on-run-end dbt seed/test/snapshot/... -> do not trigger on-run-end My suggestion was to use the invocation_args_dict variable. It is a dictionary that contains the info about the invocation args, as the name suggests. You can think about it as the run_results.json artifact in the form of a variable, but with less information. One of these args is called 'which', and its value is the command used, like 'run', 'test'. So the on-run-end hook could be defined as on-run-end:  - "{% if invocation_args_dict.which == 'run' %} {{ my_macro() }} {% endif %}" Follow me for daily dbt content 🔶 #analyticsengineering #analyticsengineer #dataengineering #dataengineer
