Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-based transformation with version control, testing, and documentation. dbt defined modern analytics engineering.”
“Essential infrastructure for any app that needs caching or pub/sub. Upstash makes it serverless and affordable.”
“Every data team should use dbt. The testing and documentation alone justify it.”
“The license change burned some goodwill but Redis is still the best at what it does. Valkey is the hedge.”
“dbt standardized how data teams work. The semantic layer and metrics store are the next frontier.”
“Redis modules (search, graph, time series) make it more than a cache. The platform expansion is working.”
