Expert tips from a dbt Resident Architect: Audit your dbt project

"Resident architects do a little bit of everything. They answer questions about your dbt projects, help you scale, help you migrate to dbt—basically anything that helps you better understand how you can use dbt to do your work better." — Jerrie Kumalah Kenney, Senior Resident Architect at dbt Labs Jerrie shares expert advice on working smarter with dbt and the role resident architects play in solving data problems for customers. What resident architects help with: ✅ Answering questions about your dbt projects ✅ Scaling your dbt projects as you grow ✅ Migrating to dbt from legacy systems ✅ Optimizing how you use dbt for better results ✅ Helping you understand the "why" behind your data decisions Key tips for success: - Audit your project periodically — It's not sexy, but it's the most effective way to stay on top of latest trends, use the latest features, and prevent your project from growing unwieldy. - Ask the "why" — Understand why you're doing things. If developers spend too much time refactoring or debugging, take a step back. Is it how you think about data in general that's impacting how you're building your project? - Stay within your framework — Understand your why and stay within that framework—it'll help you work better and smarter. "The reality is if you really want to optimize things and you want to be as smart as possible as you're growing, you need to audit your project periodically."
