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 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...
📘 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...
📘 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...
📘 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...
📘 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...
📘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...
📘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 2️...
📘 Introduction In this hands-on dbt tutorial, we’ll walk you step-by-step through how to create, use, and understand macros — one of dbt’s most powerful features for reusing logic and keeping your SQL clean, modular, and DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself). By the end, you’ll be...
📘 Introduction In this hands-on dbt tutorial, we’ll walk you step-by-step through how to connect dashboards and reports to your dbt DAG using exposures. This makes your data lineage more transparent, keeps stakeholders aligned, and ensures you know exactly how data assets are being consumed. 📌 This is...
