Blog post from dbt
Fivetran and dbt Labs have merged to create a unified company focused on building open data infrastructure tailored for the age of agentic AI, which requires data pipelines that can handle the massive, autonomous data consumption of AI agents. The merger aims to address the current bottleneck in data infrastructure, which has shifted from technical limitations to issues of trust, governance, and context, especially as AI agents become the primary consumers of enterprise data. Fivetran ensures data is complete and fresh, while dbt provides governed and trustworthy context, crucial for agents operating at machine speed without human context. Together, they offer a flexible and portable foundation that can adapt to changing AI landscapes and support scalable production AI demands. The merger also underscores a commitment to open source, with the announcement of dbt Core v2.0, featuring a Rust-based rewrite for improved performance, furthering the mission to empower data practitioners in the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem.
