Cross-Platform Mesh

Enterprise Cloud Feature

What is it?

dbt Mesh originally supported references within a single data platform, cross-platform dbt Mesh allows you to coordinate dbt across data platforms. This capability is made possible by rapid adoption of Apache Iceberg

Simple Explainer

A lot of people use multiple warehouses, and usually the data had to be paired with that warehouse. With Iceberg, we can have the data stored in 1 place with multiple warehouses interacting with it. It's kind of like going from excel files on individual laptop hard drives to a Google sheet that people can collaborate on whether they're using a Windows or Mac

What Functional Requirement Does it Satisfy?

Cross-platform workloads

How it Reduces Cost

Choose the compute/warehouse that is best suited for the workload

How it Helps Data Teams Ship Faster

It removes the need to copy data from one warehouse to another or load it to both warehouses and try to keep the data synced

How it Helps Orgs Build Trust in Data and Teams

Fewer copies of the data means a single source of truth and less places for inconsistencies
