Continuous dbt observability with Databand

Databand provides dbt observability across your jobs, tests, and models you can know when a dbt process breaks, and how to fix it fast.

Why dbt observability with Databand?

Teams use dbt Core and dbt Cloud to quickly deploy analytics code. But what happens when your dbt commands don’t work as expected? That’s where Databand’s dbt observability helps.

Alert earlier

Get proactive dbt alerts around execution times, test failures, model anomalies, and more. 

Icon Icon

Debug faster

Save engineering time by centralizing metadata and root cause analysis from all your dbt commands under one roof. 

Icon Icon

Analyze impacts

Leverage Databand’s lineage capabilities to see which tables are impacted from dbt population. 

Watch dbt + Databand in action.

Watch how easy it is to define alerts on dbt tests, models, and jobs to receive alerts when your dbt processes fail.

INCIDENT MANAGEMENT

Receive proactive alerts for all dbt incidents.

Leverage the power of Databand’s alerting capabilities to notify your teams of critical issues as soon as they happen.  

 Generate alerts for incidents like: 

  • Failure of dbt commands, individual models, or individual tests. 
  • Duration anomalies for commands, models, and tests. 
  • Anomalous record counts for the tables in your models. 
  • Number of failures for any given test. 

SQL ACCESS & DISCOVERY

Get instant access and debug your dbt SQL.

Simplify how analytics engineers and analysts access SQL for their models and tests.  

Databand removes the manual discovery of .sql and .yaml files from your dbt projects. 

  • Identify key information like the materialization type of your tables and schemas. 
  • Investigate table logic to better understand how certain calculations are derived.

CENTRAL LOGGING

Stop wasting time. View all dbt commands in one place.

Quickly view information about the state and duration of each dbt command from the Databand console. 

  • See the state and duration of each individual dbt models and tests. 
  • Pinpoint the root causes of a dbt failures and resolve them fast.  

LINEAGE & IMPACT ANALYSIS

Get the whole picture with impact analysis and lineage.

Databand’s dbt observability automatically displays dbt commands in the context of your other data processes.  

For example, if your using Apache Airflow to kick off a dbt command, Databand will show the entire flow. 

  • Gain insight into the affected processes if a dbt model fails. 
  • Proactively determine which downstream processes are at risk due to upstream issues.

Databand automatically monitors the health of our Airflow pipelines so we spend less time debugging, and more time building ML models. Before Databand, 60% of our pipelines had at least one data incident. Now less than 1% of pipelines have incidents. This resulted in a 3X increase in our customers since we can now manage our ML deep learning models at scale.

Databand helps us detect data quality issues faster so we can meet our data SLAs. Without Databand, we didn’t know we had problems until two or three days later – forcing us to backfill the data.
