What dbt demand means in practice
dbt organizes data transformation using versioned models, dependencies, tests and documentation. It is associated with analytics engineering, where warehouse data is shaped into trustworthy analytical datasets. It does not replace every part of ingestion or orchestration around that transformation layer.
Describe the source and model grain, incremental behavior and tests that protect downstream users. Explain lineage, deployment and the effect of a changed schema. Strong evidence connects a model to a business definition and shows how correctness was checked, rather than only listing SQL statements or a warehouse provider.
