Data vault with DBT

DBT is a very interesting project which I think automates a large number of important tasks. Recently someone pointed me at a datavault plugin for dbt, which I think makes sense to check out and see if I can rebuild the datavault2 bigdata example with a lot less code using DBT.

The main plugin I’m going to use is dbtvault:

https://github.com/Datavault-UK/dbtvault/

Install dbt:

  • cd examples/datavault2-dbt-example
  • python3 -m venv venv
  • source venv/bin/activate
  • pip install –upgrade pip setuptools wheel
  • pip install dbt
  • cd dv2
  • dbt deps
