dbt is one of the fastest-growing tools in the field of data platform and data warehouse development. Its combination of simplicity and functionality won over the Toloka.ai team as they built their new data platform. But there’s no such thing as a silver bullet: like with any open source product, some “manual tweaking” was inevitable. Evgeny will share their experience using dbt and the improvements they had to make.

The speaker will also answer the following questions:

• What dbt features make it a must-have tool for any data platform;
• How to integrate dbt with Airflow;
• Which aspects of data mesh can be supported with dbt;
• What required significant customization in the package;
• Should you drop everything and implement dbt right now?
