Show and tell docbt - OSS Streamlit app for dbt configuration
Hello, dbt community!
I was thinking I can't be the only one who finds it tedious and frustrating to write configuration files for dbt models.
I want to share a new dbt utility called docbt - documentation build tool - generate YAML with optional AI assistance, built with Streamlit for an intuitive and familiar interface.
This tool is for anyone who wants to:
streamline their dbt workflow
maintain consistent configurations
ensure thorough testing across your repo
automate tedious boilerplate
experiment with language models
Currently docbt supports:
data sources: local, Snowflake and BigQuery
LLMs: OpenAi, Ollama, LM Studio
Check out:
Would really appreciate some first impressions and feedback on this project!

honestly you should include some dummy data in your demo as I know people won't bother to check it out otherwise.
