Fivetran + dbt: An open, agent-ready future for data teams

Fivetran and dbt Labs have announced a collaboration to advance open, scalable, AI-ready data infrastructure through joint product innovations. These developments include the release of dbt Core v2.0, which offers enhanced performance and scalability with its Rust-based engine, along with dbt State, which reduces warehouse compute costs by identifying necessary model builds. The introduction of dbt Wizard, a tool tailored for the analytics engineering lifecycle, improves agent-assisted workflows by leveraging contextual project understanding to reduce production incidents. Fivetran's AI Connector Agent, which generates managed connectors from API documentation, and Agents Schema, a standard context layer for AI, further enhance interoperability and developer productivity. These initiatives reflect a commitment to creating an open and efficient foundation for AI-native data work, fostering innovation and collaboration within the data community.
