This page contains hands-on dbt (Data Build Tool) tutorials. dbt is a powerful open-source technology that enables teams to transform raw data into valuable insights through SQL-based workflows. Here you will find hands-on tutorials and best practices for using dbt effectively. Our dbt tutorials also serve as a resource for anyone preparing for dbt Analytics Engineering Certification Exam.
📘Introduction In this hands-on dbt tutorial, you’ll learn how to make your SQL transformations dynamic and reusable by using Jinja loops inside CASE statements. This approach helps you replace repetitive SQL logic with concise, maintainable code — a valuable skill for any Data Engineer. 🎓 Preparing for dbt Analytics Engineering Certification?...
📘Introduction In this hands-on dbt tutorial, you'll learn how to use Jinja for loops inside your dbt models to make your SQL code more dynamic and automated. Instead of manually repeating similar SQL logic for multiple columns, tables, or conditions — you can use for loops with Jinja to...
📘 Introduction In this hands-on dbt tutorial, you'll learn how to overwrite project variables at runtime — a powerful feature that lets you dynamically change your dbt model behavior without modifying your code or dbt_project.yml. This is especially useful when you need to run the same transformation logic...
📘 Introduction In this hands-on dbt tutorial, you'll learn how to use project variables to make your SQL models more dynamic, flexible, and reusable. Instead of hardcoding values directly into your SQL logic, dbt allows you to define variables in your dbt_project.yml file. These variables can be...
📘 Introduction In this hands-on dbt tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Jinja variables inside your dbt models to make your SQL code more dynamic, flexible, and reusable. Instead of hardcoding values directly into your SQL logic, Jinja allows you to define variables that can be adjusted at runtime or...
📘 Introduction In this hands-on dbt tutorial, you’ll learn step-by-step how to create a singular test to validate custom business rules using SQL. Unlike built-in generic tests (like unique or not_null), singular tests allow you to write fully customizable SQL logic to enforce strict data quality checks. ✅ Prerequisites ☑️ A...
📘 Introduction In this hands-on dbt tutorial, we’ll walk you step-by-step through how to set up data warehouse grants in dbt, ensuring the right users have access to the right layers and models. 📌 This is a must-know topic for the dbt Analytics Engineering Certification Exam, so mastering it now puts...
📘Introduction In this hands-on dbt tutorial, we’ll walk you step-by-step through how to make your SQL cleaner and more maintainable by using CTEs (Common Table Expressions) instead of deeply nested subqueries. ✅ Prerequisites ☑️ A dbt project set up ☑️ Source data loaded into your data warehouse ☑️ Source configurations defined in sources....
📘Introduction In this hands-on dbt tutorial, we’ll walk step by step through how to apply the Medallion Architecture to a real dataset using dbt. We’ll explore a sample dataset, visualize the dataflow, and move through all layers of the architecture: 1️⃣ 🛬 Landing Layer – Raw data ingestion 2️⃣ 🥉 Bronze...
