Recordly dbt hackathon

Recordly dbt hackathon 4.11.2021

This is the repo for Recordly data build tool hackathon! Feel free to follow along, and do check our open jobs at Recordly/Careers

The structure of the repo is the following:

• /hackathon has instructions and tasks. Follow that.
• /finished has the answers. So major SPOILERS there :)

This hackathon was done on Snowflake using TPC-H dataset as an example. https://github.com/electrum/tpch-dbgen was used to generate new data made available to participants via Azure Blob storage.

The goal for this dbt hackathon is

• to give basic idea about what dbt does,
• what it doesn't do,
• how to set it up and start using it,
• how to expand it with packages and macros,
• and what to consider when creating a production ready environment

Recordly hackathon?

At Recordly, we hold monthly hackathons. The goal of the hackathons is to share and deepen our knowledge on different technical topics. That is the first part of the hackathons. The other part is to evolve our company. Like products, our company evolves through various versions and hackathons play an important role in this.
