What is DBT?

dbt (data build tool) is a command-line tool that enables data analysts and engineers to transform data in their data warehouses by writing modular SQL. dbt focuses on the 'T' in ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) workflows, allowing users to define transformations as code, manage dependencies, and version control their data pipelines. It's commonly used for tasks like creating data models, cleaning and standardizing data, and generating analytical tables for business intelligence.
