Every time someone praises dbt, a view sheds another tear.

[williamjackson → berkle4455]

Honest question: if I want to apply IaC to my views, is there a better tool than dbt to take care of that for me? I have never used dbt before, only read about it.

I use view everyday but what is a dbt ?

If I have to install binaries locally that sound boring

[ghilston → dopidopHN]

Can you explain why that sounds boring?

I ask, as my preference would be to do the boring thing and install a binary locally. Like how one generally uses git for example.

I meant in a SQL context. I don’t want to manage extra binaries to deploy by environments. Specially if the same result can be archived via standard SQL
