Dbt Labs acquires SDF Labs
New tech will significantly improve performance, enhance developer ergonomics, and bring rich new metadata to dbt.
It will enable faster dbt project compilation (~2 orders of magnitude), amazing developer experience (think: type-ahead in your IDE of choice), the highest-fidelity lineage on the market, and much more. A complete understanding of SQL allows the SDF engine to faithfully emulate cloud data warehouses in their behavior and provide that feedback before execution and catch breaking changes as part of development rather than after deployment. Beyond that, all I can say for now is that the technology that SDF has built is foundational to the entire data control plane, and you should anticipate seeing it show up in more and more dbt experiences over the coming 12 months.
