This partnership aims to address data siloes and enable AI to move from experimentation to execution by providing an open, interoperable foundation that decouples storage from compute. With over 1,500 joint commercial customers and 16,000 dbt projects run weekly by Fivetran, the collaboration capitalizes on Fivetran's expertise in automated data movement and dbt's analytics engineering capabilities. Both companies are committed to maintaining open-source and source-available licenses for their technologies, ensuring that openness, portability, and interoperability remain central to their mission. As AI reshapes how organizations use data, Fivetran and dbt's unified platform promises faster decisions, reduced integration bottlenecks, and scalable data systems, providing enterprises with the tools to harness AI's potential effectively.
