by Kapil Dev V · dbt engineering, book 2 of 2
The companion to the Data build tool (dbt) Cookbook. It moves the same warehouse to dbt v2, the Rust engine that was Fusion, then runs it under v2's checks and on dbt Cloud, now the dbt platform. Every recipe in chapters 1 to 11 was run against dbt 2.0.6, with its real output printed beneath it.

What you will be able to do
- Plan and execute a migration to dbt v2 in a measured order
- Choose a static analysis mode, knowing exactly what each one catches
- Fix every error v2 raises on a migrated project
- Operate bronze, silver and gold under v2's checks
- Choose between generic, singular, unit and contract tests instead of using all four
- Query your own project for lineage and impact
- Run dev, CI and production from one codebase
- Set the same project up on the dbt platform with the right plan, environments and jobs
For anyone with a dbt Core 1.x project to move. You can run all of it with one install and no cloud account: v2 has DuckDB compiled in.
