Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-based transformation with version control, testing, and documentation. dbt defined modern analytics engineering.”
“Atlas is excellent — search, vector, triggers, and serverless functions. The aggregation pipeline is powerful once you learn it.”
“Every data team should use dbt. The testing and documentation alone justify it.”
“Document databases create more problems than they solve for most apps. Start with Postgres, add MongoDB only if you truly need it.”
“dbt standardized how data teams work. The semantic layer and metrics store are the next frontier.”
“Atlas Vector Search positions MongoDB well for AI applications. Their platform play is smart.”
