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!
Today, there are 30,000 companies using dbt every week, 100,000 dbt Community members, and 4,100 companies paying for dbt Cloud.
Our customers include JetBlue, Hubspot, Vodafone New Zealand, and Dunelm.
