Databricks users will now be able to get started with dbt Cloud from directly within the Databricks interface
dbt Labs announced the availability of dbt Cloud on Databricks Partner Connect. With this move, Databricks customers now have a risk-free, fast and frictionless way to experience the benefits of dbt Cloud on the lakehouse. dbt enables data teams to transform data in-warehouse and deploy analytics code following software engineering best practices.
Through Databricks Partner Connect, all Databricks users will now have the ability to quickly provision a new dbt Cloud trial that is pre-connected to their Databricks account. In just a few clicks, users will be set up with a dbt Cloud account – ideal for those looking to quickly get a feel for what the two can achieve together through a streamlined, pre-configured workflow.
“The dbt Community has long had an interest in a joint solution with Databricks, and thanks to this accelerating partnership, we’re now able to deliver a turnkey experience to Databricks customers looking to experience dbt Cloud. It’s a natural fit – with dbt as the transformation framework running on top of a unified lakehouse, data teams have access to an open platform with incredibly deep community support,” said Margaret Francis, Chief Product Officer, dbt Labs.
Databricks has also developed a new, dedicated dbt-Databricks adapter, bringing an easier installation process and a more optimised performance.
