From 100 spreadsheets to 100 data analysts: the story of dbt at Slido
Let’s do a quick thought experiment. Suppose you join a young SaaS startup that would like to improve its data game, with the vision of building a data-informed culture.
Suppose further that the only existing pieces of “data infrastructure” are hundreds of scattered Excel sheets and that you are given a shoestring budget of 500 USD per month.
What would you do? In our talk, we would like to walk you through our journey from our custom-built transformations to using dbt as the framework and platform for all our data needs. Moreover, we would like to share more about the open-source tooling that we’ve built along the way.
