Embedding column-name contracts in data pipelines with dbt | Emily Riederer

dbt supercharges SQL with Jinja templating, macros, and testing -- all of which can be customized to enforce controlled vocabularies and their implied contracts on a data model

I really enjoyed this writeup, thanks!

Will definitely keep it in my toolbox for situations that call for a more dynamic approach, and think about if it's something we'd like to consider as a "general" approach to any given model.

We're just getting started with dbt, so there are definitely many decisions to make on how to approach things..

Thanks @jwarlander ! I'd love to hear over time what you end up adopting (and adapting 🙂). I'm fairly new to dbt myself but really impressed with the potential from what I've seen so far. Enjoying playing with it and loving the strong community around it.
