Cube has introduced an updated integration with dbt Metrics, allowing users to keep metrics definitions in dbt as the single source of truth while leveraging Cube's caching and access control capabilities. This integration enables users to expose dbt Metrics via SQL, REST, and GraphQL APIs, providing a seamless way to integrate their data applications. With this integration, users can also accelerate their data queries using pre-aggregations, which can improve performance by up to 8x, while implementing row-level security and multitenancy for secure access control. The integration is now available in Cube Cloud or locally with Docker, allowing users to get started quickly.
