How do I build dashboards directly from dbt models?
A chart points at a dbt model by name and queries the table that model produces in the warehouse. When the model is rebuilt the dashboard reads the updated table without any manual export step. Bruin does this in one platform: ingestion, SQL and Python pipelines, quality checks, lineage, and an AI data analyst that answers in Slack, Microsoft Teams, and the browser.
