dbt Cloud is a managed platform for running analytics engineering workflows with dbt. It helps teams schedule and run dbt projects, monitor execution in real time, and manage environments with reliability and visibility. With strong support for testing, documentation, and artifacts, dbt Cloud is trusted by analytics teams to keep data transformations consistent across the full pipeline—from development to production.

Connecting dbt Cloud lets BOBs operate your analytics engineering pipeline end-to-end: start the right dbt job when business operations need fresh data, confirm progress as it executes, and react immediately if anything fails. Instead of waiting on manual checks, BOBs can continuously observe job lifecycle events and route outcomes to the right teams or systems, keeping reporting and downstream workflows in sync.

Once a run completes, BOBs can pull the exact artifacts produced by dbt (along with environment context) so other tools—dashboards, data quality checks, or data delivery steps—receive the latest transformation outputs without delay. This unlocks use cases like on-demand data refresh for key business moments, automated incident handling for failed runs, and real-time pipeline health reporting across your analytics stack.
