dbt (data build tool) Cloud is the cloud-hosted platform for dbt, the most widely used data transformation framework. Its AI features include an AI assistant that generates SQL transformation code from natural language descriptions, automatically generates documentation for data models, and suggests column descriptions. Data engineers and analytics engineers use dbt Cloud to build and maintain data transformation pipelines that turn raw data warehouse data into analytics-ready tables. The AI SQL generation feature helps both experienced engineers work faster and newcomers get started with dbt syntax. dbt has become the standard for the modern data stack, with over 30,000 companies using it. The AI assistance reduces friction for teams adopting dbt for the first time and accelerates the documentation process that is typically the most neglected part of data engineering work.

What the community says

Data engineers on Reddit r/dataengineering consider dbt essentially mandatory for modern analytics engineering. The AI SQL and documentation features are seen as useful additions to an already essential tool. Based on community discussions from Reddit.
