Building a User-Friendly, Budget-Friendly Alternative to dbt Cloud

Hey there, data enthusiasts and curious devs! 👋

I've been knee-deep in a project that I think might pique your interest, especially if you're in the data engineering space or working with teams that use #dbt. I'm developing an alternative to dbt Cloud that aims to solve a couple of key pain points:

  1. Accessibility for non-technical users 🙌
  2. Cost-effectiveness for teams of all sizes 💰

The Vision
Imagine a world where your product managers, business analysts, or even interns could contribute directly to your dbt projects without needing to code or understand the intricacies of version control. That's the dream I'm chasing!
Key Features (So Far)

  • 🎨 Non-technical: Allow anyone to contribute without the need of installing any CLI
  • 💸 Budget-Friendly: Aiming for a significantly lower price point than dbt Cloud
  • 🤝 Collaboration-Focused: Designed to integrate smoothly with existing dbt workflows

Why This Matters
In many organizations, there's a wealth of business knowledge that doesn't always make it into our data transformations. By lowering the technical barrier, we can tap into that expertise and create more robust, accurate data models.
What's Next?
I'm still in the development phase and would love to hear from the community:

What features would make this a must-have for your team?
Any concerns about letting non-technical users contribute to dbt projects?
Ideas on maintaining data integrity while opening up contributions?
