Enhance your Data Team's Productivity with dbt and Gitpod

Enhance your Data Team's Productivity with dbt and Gitpod. The management of local development environments is a time-consuming chore for software developers, taking an average of 5 hours per engineer per week. Running dbt in the Cloud forces developers to use dbt’s Cloud IDE, limiting possibilities for customization and access to functionality that users expect from full-featured IDEs such as VS Code. Gitpod improves Developer Experience with dbt by providing powerful, on-demand cloud development environments that are easy to spin up, disposable, and extensible at will. The .gitpod.yml file in a repository defines the development environment at startup, entailing installation of languages and dependencies, configuration of terminal(s) and opened ports, and installation of extensions in the IDE. Gitpod integrates with well-established IDEs to provide developers the full feature set they are used to while maintaining standardization across teams. The dev environment created by the demo project is a starting point, mostly replicating the functionality of the dbt Cloud IDE. You can fork the repository and extend the configuration by integrating your favorite tools from the dbt ecosystem.
