This approach highlights a scalable method for handling complex data environments.
MyDataWork POV — For those entrenched in large-scale data environments, Sigma's approach to managing a semantic layer through version-controlled code is a playbook worth examining. The scale of 2,883 dbt models highlights the effectiveness of structured orchestration with Dagster. However, if you're managing a smaller data operation, this level of complexity might be overkill. The lesson here is scalability — it’s essential for those who need it, but not everyone does.
