meltano-cicd-sample-template

A project template for learning dbt with Meltano.

Testing

To test, first use the Open in VS Code link above to open the project in VS Code using Docker containers.

Note: The only prerequisites to get started is to install VS Code and Docker. As needed, VS Code will prompt you to install any additional extensions needed to open the project.

Configure your Snowflake profile

Create a new .env in the base of the repo, and copy the contents from .env.template.

Run dbt run to build your models

Open a new terminal and run dbt run.

This should confirm that your profile is setup correctly. If you are not able to connect, check your .env file to ensure your credentials, warehouse, and database name are all correct.

Run dbt docs generate to build your docs

At any terminal, run dbt docs generate.

Run dbt docs serve to launch the docs webserver

At any terminal, run dbt docs serve.

Note:

• The process will keep the terminal busy until you cancel/kill the process (ctrl+c).
• You do not need to stop and restart to get the latest. Instead, just rerun dbt docs generate and refresh your browser once it has completed.
