Assess six dimensions of your data foundation to pinpoint where it limits AI, since adoption is moving faster than readiness. The post lays out a framework for judging your organization's AI readiness so you know which gaps to close first.
How to put generative AI directly into a dbt pipeline with plain SQL
Google Cloud shows how to call BigQuery's AI SQL functions from inside dbt models, so generative AI steps like sentiment scoring run as ordinary SQL transformations in the pipeline. It extends the pattern to LLM-generated product briefings, all written in plain SQL without separate orchestration code.
How Sigma runs a 2,883-model semantic layer on dbt and Dagster
Sigma manages its semantic layer as version-controlled code, running 2,883 dbt models orchestrated with Dagster. The post walks through how that code-based approach works at scale, giving Databricks practitioners a concrete reference for treating a semantic layer like any other software project.
ClickHouse + dbt: Building a GitOps workflow at Twilio
Twilio consolidated its Kafka, Spark, and Elasticsearch stack into a single ClickHouse pipeline, with dbt models and a GitOps workflow governing how changes are made. The post walks through how that setup works, which is useful for Databricks practitioners weighing how to manage analytics pipelines through version-controlled, declarative workflows.
