29%+ warehouse savings: How the dbt Fusion engine drives more cost-effective data ops

Data teams waste hundreds of hours every year refreshing models that haven’t changed. This is a significant time and trust drain on practitioners, and it can unnecessarily drive data platform costs through the roof. The dbt Fusion engine changes that equation. In testing, it’s delivered 29%+ reductions in warehouse usage by running only what’s changed, optimizing test execution, and using advanced configurations to eliminate unnecessary model runs — cutting wasted compute without compromising freshness or reliability. In this virtual event, you’ll learn how teams are using Fusion to: -Significantly reduce warehouse and platform costs by eliminating redundant work -Run pipelines that are leaner, faster, and more predictable -Deliver more reliable data through simplified, centralized orchestration -Improve the developer experience with faster iterations, better debugging, and clearer lineage -Support business growth with smarter build strategies that scale You’ll also hear from Obie Insurance and Analytics8 as they share how they’re modernizing with Fusion, including how: -Obie is seeing ~30% model reuse with state-aware orchestration — resulting in meaningful compute savings -Both teams are streamlining development and reducing redundant work -They’re exploring Fusion as a way to lower platform costs and simplify their data operations What else you’ll gain from attending: -A demo of Fusion’s cost-saving capabilities, including state-aware orchestration, efficient testing patterns, and advanced configurations that reduce unnecessary model runs -Guidance on improving developer efficiency with the Fusion-powered IDE, lineage, previews, and VS Code extension. -A look ahead at upcoming cost-optimization features, including semantic-aware CI and expanded orchestration controls. -Q&A with a dbt product expert to help you understand where the biggest cost-savings opportunities are for your team.
