Thank you for sharing <3

Cloud costs increasing could be a sign of more data being utilized productively. In any way, a mixture of data engineers and analysts is a healthy way to scale a dbt project to increase speed-of-delivery of analytics requests vs cloud costs. We at dbt Labs encourage the "analytics engineering" mindset to bring software engineering best practices into the dbt analytics workflow (git version control, code reviews), and so cloud cost considerations should be incorporated into mature dbt development practices.

Check out dbt-expectations package[1]. It's a port of the Great Expectations checks to dbt as tests. The advantage of this is you don't need another tool for these pretty standard tests, and can be early incorporated into dbt workflows.

I learned this recently and thought I'd share! From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Redshift


Thanks! I eliminated that it was my machine -- I observed the same phenomenon on two machines.

I launched my own EC2 web instance in us-east-1 and hosted one of the slow files, and repeatedly downloaded it using a `python -m SimpleHTTPServer`. I similarly observed a slow download speed (128Kbps) without my NordVPN connection.

Oddly enough, I also observed a slow download speed to my us-east-1 server WITH my NordVPN connection, so that let me to believe it's a broader issue, however I did observe a fast download speed from an AWS server located in eu-central-1.

I'm generally confused. Connecting to NordVPN eliminates my issue, but the tests I am conducting are providing inconclusive evidence as to why this is the case!


I'm so sorry to hear that. I wish the best for you and your sister.

NYU team coach here writing from Russia. :)

Indeed, most of the top competitors have been practicing since high school. We were lucky to assemble a team that has been training well before.

MIT's team consists of freshmen who are still in good training since their national high school math olympiad trainings from their respective countries.


What puzzled me is that training for high schools varies so much that not all students interested was given some basic help.
