Projects | dbt Core on BigQuery
This hands-on webinar for the Surfalytics community walks through a complete analytics engineering project built with dbt Core on BigQuery, fully version-controlled in GitHub. The session demonstrates real-world dbt workflows end to end, focusing on open-source tooling and production-style patterns used by modern analytics teams. Key topics covered: - dbt Core fundamentals and project structure Medallion architecture (staging → intermediate → marts) - Packages, schema tests, and custom testing strategies - Clone and defer workflows for fast, cost-efficient development - Custom macros and automation patterns - Data diffing with Recce to validate metric changes - AI-assisted dbt development using MCP and CLI tooling Designed for analysts, analytics engineers, and data engineers who want a practical walkthrough of advanced dbt Core capabilities without relying on dbt Cloud. #dbt #dbtcore #analyticsengineering #dataengineering #bigquery #modernDataStack #dataQuality #sqlAnalytics ================= What is Surfalytics? Inspired by West Coast surfing spots 🏖️ and Pacific Ocean vibes 🌊. Created to help you start a new career in the data analytics space, and develop data engineering and analytics skills through coaching. It will teach you not just dry skills, but will keep your focus on delivering significant value to businesses in the analytics realm as well as help to get fair compensation 💰 for the work you’re passionate about ❤️🔥. The goal of Surfalytics is to assist you in achieving one of the following: 🏄♂️ Land your first job in the data industry with literally zero experience. I have accomplished this many times across the globe. 🏄 Advance from a middle-level role to a senior position (as an Analyst or Engineer). 🏄♀️ Transition from a non-technical Analyst role to a technical Engineer role. Moreover, we will focus on creating a highly competitive CV and securing top job offers. We will not consider any lowball offers, focusing only on top-tier companies and well-paid opportunities. Finally, Surfalytics is a results-driven community with a very narrow focus, resulting in a high return on investment (ROI). Here, ‘investment’ does not mean money but your time. I am literally fighting for your attention to encourage you to study and work hard, instead of watching Netflix or playing video games. This is the best YouTube channel for Data Analytics and Engineering. You will patch up a lack of knowledge and get new experience and tips to build a Data Analyst roadmap or Data Engineer roadmap for yourself. Want to be part of our growing community?
