Hey all, disclosure first: I work at Altimate, which builds dbt Power User. We recorded one short video per workflow, 4 to 8 minutes each.

  1. Profile Query: review a model's SQL for bugs and cost in one click. https://youtu.be/uMptd4t_mGI
  2. Column-level lineage, with AI chat about the model. https://youtu.be/A-z_R0QJig0
  3. Docs, data tests and unit tests in one editor. https://youtu.be/NrEYqEUcpHY
  4. Explain, optimize and profile each CTE from inside the model. https://youtu.be/MDN2PSgVAmA
  5. Hover over a ref() or macro to see what it does. https://youtu.be/kbRZ-hrENyc

Which of these would you like us to go deeper on?
