Get practice building a dbt project from the ground up. Apply your skills at loading different types of data into the dbt project and setting up a variety of staging dbt models. This chapter focuses on the E and L parts of the ELT process.

Introducing the dbt case study

Check dbt installation

Initialize the dbt project

Setting up the dbt project and loading data

Load distribution center as a dbt seed file

Create distribution center staging model

Load and create user model via dbt source

More practice with dbt source and staging models

Debug common errors

Setting up dbt

Dive deep into the weeds of dbt data modeling. Build the data pipeline from preliminary staging models to the final data mart models for answering critical business needs. Along the way, get experience creating data tests to guardrail against data quality drift.

Creating dbt descriptions and tests

Add dbt column descriptions

Add dbt column tests

Building dbt data marts and snapshot models

Refresher on dbt model hierarchy

Create mart model for customers

Create mart model for products

Debugging common errors

Debugging more errors

Building dbt snapshot models

Building dbt models

Learn to enhance your dbt projects with Jinja by streamlining code, reducing redundancy, and improving maintainability. You'll practice using variables, loops, and macros to build more efficient transformation workflows.

Recap: dbt case study

Improving dbt with Jinja

Unlock the power of data transformation with our hands-on dbt (Data Build Tool) Case Study Course. Designed for early stage dbt users, this course focuses on practical, real-world exercises that give you multiple opportunities to build, transform, and refine your grasp of essential dbt commands. Through hands-on practice, you’ll gain confidence in every step of the process—starting from setting up your dbt environment to creating advanced models that solve critical business challenges. By working through interactive exercises, you'll build the experience you need to tackle real-life data ETL pipeline projects with confidence.

Transform raw data into clean, reliable models using dbt (Data Build Tool) - a modern, SQL-based transformation framework used by data teams around the world. This hands-on case study course is designed for early-stage learners who want to build real-world skills through guided, practical exercises. You'll set up your own dbt environment, model data at scale, and write reusable code using dbt's built-in features.<br><br><h2>Set Up Your Project and Explore the Data</h2>Get started by setting up a dbt project and working with a real E-Commerce dataset. You'll structure raw data, configure profiles, and debug syntax issues while gaining insight into the business context behind each transformation step.<br><br><h2>Build and Validate Models</h2>Learn to create scalable staging models and apply data quality checks to ensure your datasets are accurate and analysis-ready. You'll build a solid foundation for answering key business questions.<br><br><h2>Automate with Jinja</h2>Finish the course by learning how to use Jinja to write reusable, maintainable code. You'll use variables, control flow, and loops to follow the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle to streamline your dbt workflow.
