Orchestrate dbt Jobs with Kestra

Kestra offers a comprehensive solution for orchestrating dbt workflows, facilitating the automation and management of data transformation processes in tandem with other elements such as data ingestion and machine learning training. Dbt, a leading SQL-first transformation framework, allows analytics teams to deploy code with software engineering best practices like modularity and CI/CD, available in both an open-source CLI tool and a managed cloud platform. Kestra's orchestration engine integrates with both dbt Core and dbt Cloud, providing users with a flexible environment to execute dbt commands and manage dependencies through customizable properties and various execution environments. The platform's use of a declarative language syntax enhances collaboration and understanding of data pipelines, streamlining the process for analytics engineers and data analysts to focus on extracting business value while data engineers manage orchestration. As the integration between Kestra and dbt continues to evolve, users can explore further capabilities through the plugin documentation and community resources.
