DBT Cloud Transformations

DataLakeHouse.io with DBT Cloud works like something magical. Adding a DBT Cloud transformation in DataLakeHouse.io allows you to call an existing job as part of the sync data pipeline. After each synchronization frequency of your source data to the raw landing zone at your target/destination (e.g.: Snowflake) a DBT Cloud job can be run. You can even override some of the DBT Cloud parameters of the job to dynamically control the job steps and other details of the run.
