Hi Team, I’m trying to understand how airbyte leverages dbt to transfer data from one warehouse to another and whether there are changes made to dbt-core or is it used as is. Maybe someone could point me to the right place in code? Thanks 🙂

I believe dbt core is used (as is) at the end of a load for normalization / transformation only. I do not believe it is used to transfer data, as that is not what dbt is for.

Anton, let me know if you have more questions after reading that article!

Your question is pretty close to this presebtation we made at coalesce last week https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=saXwh6SpeHA&list=PL0QYlrC86xQlj9UDGiEwhXQuSjuSyPJHl&index=59
