The authors of the documentation for dbt (data build tool) have invested heavily in integrating it with Dagster, a data engineering platform. They found that a significant portion of users used dbt and were struggling with its performance on large-scale projects. The team identified issues with dbt docs, such as slow page load times and high memory usage. To improve performance, they implemented React Server Components and Next.js 13 in their project. This resulted in a significant reduction in page load time, from over 4.5 seconds to under half a second, and improved overall user experience. The implementation also reduced memory usage by approximately 20x. However, there are still some challenges with the current solution, such as patching Next.js to fix a bug and limitations on serving static sites from the root of the domain.
