Summary

We are excited to announce the release of our newest integration with dbt Cloud, allowing you to orchestrate dbt Cloud jobs right from Fivetran’s platform. This integration enables data teams to manage all stages of data integration – extraction, loading and transformation – through one platform with minimal engineering effort. Fivetran's integrated scheduling for dbt Core was previously launched in 2022, providing a solution for orchestrating open-source, self-hosted dbt data transformations. The new dbt Cloud integration offers a fully managed experience, allowing teams to avoid provisioning infrastructure while taking advantage of collaborative web-based development and navigation through a web UI. Analysts and engineers can now schedule dbt Cloud jobs to run upon the successful load of new data from associated upstream connectors, set up, monitor and QA pipelines directly from the Fivetran GUI with robust run logs. The integration simplifies data pipeline setup and maintenance, helping data teams reprioritize their attention while democratizing access to data and making it simpler and more reliable to use. With this integration, data teams can now manage end-to-end ELT pipelines with built-in choice, allowing them to focus on data work versus pipeline management. Getting started is dead simple, requiring only navigating through menus and authenticating an account. The new integration brings a single environment where reports and dashboards can be set up in minutes, further underscoring Fivetran's commitment to providing a central platform that acts as a data foundation.
