dbt Labs, the pioneer in analytics engineering, announced the formal launch of the dbt Labs Technology Partner Program, allowing data practitioners to extend dbt’s capabilities with seamless integrations, while providing partners with increased connection to the dbt user base, as well as guidance on integrating with dbt Cloud to meet user needs.
dbt has emerged as the industry standard for data transformation, with demand largely driven by the industry-wide shift to cloud-based data platforms. It enables data teams to transform data inside their cloud data platform, and deploy analytics code following software engineering best practices. This new way of working, known as analytics engineering, has been adopted by the global dbt Community of more than 30,000 data professionals.
“Investing in the dbt Community and its technology ecosystem has always been a high priority for us,” said Nikhil Kothari, Head of Technology Partnerships at dbt Labs. “As we build on a foundation of strong partnerships and look toward the future, formalizing this program was a logical next step. We’re excited to continue working with our partners to provide users with powerful, integrated solutions.”

Partners involved span a variety of categories ranging from data quality to business intelligence and include organizations such as Airbyte, Monte Carlo, and ThoughtSpot.
As part of the new program, partners offering products that support processing of SQL queries will also have access to a newly introduced Adapter Verification Program, which includes a set of technical guides paired with an engagement model that ensures user trust. Those invested in building and maintaining dbt adapters will achieve a Verified designation that ensures best practices, compatibility, and optimal user experience.
