dbt Projects on Snowflake

About

Streamline the end-to-end lifecycle of dbt projects directly within the Snowflake Data Cloud, eliminating the need for external orchestration or complex infrastructure. This skill provides comprehensive guidance on setting up web-based workspaces, deploying projects via the Snowflake CLI, and executing dbt commands natively using SQL. With a strong focus on observability, it leverages Snowflake event tables and OpenTelemetry to offer deep insights into execution metrics, error logs, and performance regressions through ready-to-use monitoring scripts and best practices.
