#Data Build Tool
Data Build Tool (DBT) is an open-source command-line tool that helps data analysts and engineers transform raw data into trusted, structured datasets. DBT runs in your warehouse (like Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or Databricks), making it highly efficient and scalable. It promotes best practices like documentation, lineage tracking, and CI/CD for data workflows.
Learning DBT is valuable for roles like Analytics Engineer, Data Engineer, and BI Developer.
