Do I still need dbt if I use Bruin?
Probably not. dbt exists to transform and model raw data. Bruin runs SQL and Python transformations with column-level lineage built in as part of an end-to-end platform, so most teams fold that job into Bruin rather than paying for and maintaining a standalone tool.
Instead of
dbt
A standalone tool just to transform and model raw data.
With Bruin
One end-to-end platform
Ingestion, transformation, quality, orchestration, and analytics, all AI-first.
One platform covers the whole stack
Why teams consolidate
Bruin, the end-to-end AI data platform
Running dbt on its own means one more tool to buy, wire up, and maintain just to transform and model raw data.
Bruin does that step and every step around it in one platform, with column-level lineage end to end, then delivers answers in Slack, Teams, Discord, WhatsApp, or your browser. One bill, one access model, no glue code.
One platform, end to end
From ingestion to answers in Slack. Replace the stack, keep the lineage.
