Summary

Preset has been developing an internal community tracker using open source data tools to better understand the Superset community, intending to make this work open source. This effort involves ingesting data from platforms like GitHub using Airbyte and transforming it into organized tables in a data warehouse with dbt, a tool for data transformation and validation using SQL. The process includes unifying data from various repositories, exploding JSON payloads into structured columns, and creating entity-focused tables for analytics. dbt models and macros are employed to streamline these transformations, maintain data integrity, and ensure scalability. The team aims to de-duplicate records efficiently and enrich the data with additional metadata before making it available for analytics and visualization in tools like Apache Superset. Future plans include sharing the resulting dbt models and further developing data views in Superset.
