Context and Motivation
- dbt (Data Build Tool): A popular open-source framework that organizes SQL transformations in a modular, version-controlled, and testable way.
- Databricks: A platform that unifies data engineering and data science pipelines, typically with Spark (PySpark, Scala) or SparkSQL.
The post explores whether a Databricks environment—often used for Lakehouse architectures—benefits from dbt, especially if a team heavily uses SQL-based transformations.
