dbt Implementation & Re-architecture

What you get

  • dbt project structure with modular layers
  • Comprehensive testing suite (schema, data, custom)

  • Documentation generated from code
  • Team training and knowledge transfer

  • Data validation framework
  • Parallel running and cutover strategy
