After taking some inspiration from my last couple of years of work, I decided to put some pen to paper and formalize the lessons I’ve learned about how to scale out dbt projects. In a fortuitous turn of events, I had an opportunity to present these thoughts at MDS Fest 2023.

Here are the slides to my session From “From Overgrown to Thriving: Scaling Tour dbt Project Like a Gardener”, in which I describe how to go about refining and rehabilitating truly massive dbt projects.

For talk slides and a full breakdown of the tools I talks about, please visit the presentation’s git repository.
