dbt
Extend the dbt DAG beyond the project boundary so you can trace every model from raw source to dashboard.
Transformation & OrchestrationWhy dbt matters
The dbt DAG stops at the edge of your project. You can see model-to-model dependencies, but not which Fivetran connector feeds a source or which Looker explore breaks when a column is renamed.
Typedef picks up where dbt leaves off, connecting every model to the ingestion layer below it and the BI layer above it, so impact analysis covers the full stack, not just the transformation layer.
What Typedef unlocks
Know before you merge
See which dashboards and metrics are affected by a model change before the PR lands.
Source-to-dashboard tracing
Follow a data point from the raw connector through staging, marts, and into the chart that displays it.
Cross-project visibility
Link models across multiple dbt projects into a single dependency graph without stitching manifests by hand.
Test gap detection
Identify high-impact models that lack tests by combining lineage fan-out with test coverage data.
