Hi, has anyone set things up in multi-project setups? E.g. Team A has one dbt project, Team B - another (they are in the same repo); ideally I don’t want to have
n
reports but just one. I think this is possible for the cloud version, is it possible for the open source one, too?

Hi, @Georgi Evlogiev! I faced exactly the same issue. At first we were running Elementary on different projects but pointing towards the same schema, and one always overwrote the other one.
What we ended up doing was creating a project that had the other 2 projects listed as packages and then we ran Elementary from there. That way both projects get included. This also works to have only one dbt docs
This was over a year ago, so I don’t know if they added support for this situation, yet

Thanks @Jose Daniel Chacón Bogarín! I was thinking I might need to do that but wanted to double-check if others have faced this issue. Did it end up working well? Did you end up using the tool?

You’re welcome 🙌🏻 Yes, it works great! We have a very big project, so at first we had some hiccups for it being a bit slow, but after some upgrades it’s not taking even a minute to load metadata for thousands of models, as well run results. We don’t use everything, but we do use the data it generates for maintenance stuff, as well the dashboard

Got it! Thanks for sharing 😺 I might reach out to you at some point in the future, if you would be open to sharing some of your knowledge 🙏
