Hi <!channel> announcement We are excited to announce the new version of Elementary - 0.6.1 🎉 This release comes with significant performance improvements! _*Note*_: Whenever we upgrade a minor version, the meaning is that an upgrade is required in the dbt package as well.

Please upgrade Elementary under packages.yml to version: 0.6.1, run dbt deps, followed by dbt run -s elementary.
To upgrade edr to the latest version, run pip install --upgrade elementary-data.

elementary Elementary 10x Faster!!! elementary • Report generation 10x Faster 😱 ◦ We improved our mechanism of collecting test samples, greatly reducing the time it takes to run a report! • Lineage screen 10x Faster 🔥 ◦ Major improvements for large graphs! • On-run-end hook 10x Faster 😱 ◦ We now cache collected dbt artifacts locally and only upload them if they changed from the last run. elementary New Features elementary • Support for showing test descriptions in both reports and alerts! 📃 • Test schema is no longer needed (e.g. the

__tests

schema is now optional). • AWS credentials for S3 automatically detected (via

boto3

) - Contributed by @Por Heng! 🎉 • Added query ID to

dbt_run_results

,

model_run_results
