Who we are

At dbt Labs, we have developed strong opinions on how companies should practice analytics.

Specifically, we believe that :

Code-based transformations offer unmatched flexibility and transparency across various "multi-player" development to power everyone in the organization to collaborate on a common language

Data analysts should adopt similar practices and tools to software developers

Critical analytics infrastructure should be controlled by its users as open source software

Analytic code itself—not just analytics tools—will increasingly be open source

It turns out that a lot of other people believe this too!
