dbt multi-project collaboration

Christophe Blefari

cross-project dependencies ( credits ) Over the last few years, dbt has become a de facto standard enabling companies to collaborate easily on data transformations. With dbt, you can apply software engineering practices to SQL development. Managing your SQL patrimony has never been easier. So, yes, dbt is cool but there is a common pattern with it: you accumulate SQL queries.

How to use Airflow templates and macros

Marc Lamberti

Templates and Macros in Apache Airflow allow passing data to your DAGs at runtime. Imagine that you want to execute an SQL request with the execution date of your DAG. How can you do that? How can you use the DAG ID when you send notifications to know which DAG to look at? Or what if you need to know when the next DAG run will be? Well, macros and templates answer these questions.
