Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The SQL Unit Testing Landscape: 2023
If you use dbt for transformations Dbt Unit Testing (https://github.com/EqualExperts/dbt-unit-testing) is getting some attention (https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/languages-and-frameworks?blipid=202304042)

Ask HN: How do you test SQL?
We use this and take an example-based tests approach for any non-trivial tables: https://github.com/EqualExperts/dbt-unit-testing

SQL should be your default choice for data engineering pipelines
> How do you test some SQL logic in isolation?
I do this using sql
1. Extracting an 'ephemeral model' to different model file
2. Mock out this model in upstream model in unit tests https://github.com/EqualExperts/dbt-unit-testing
3. Write unit tests for this model.
This is not different than regular software development in a language like java.
I would argue its even better better because unit tests are always in tabular format and pretty easy to understand. Java unit tests on other hand are never read by devs in practice.

Unit testing with dbt
I haven't done it yet but there are some popular blogs as well as a DBT package someone created.

Modern Data Modeling: Start with the End?
> I really don’t understand the communities obsession with unwieldy tools like DBT.
It lets me write test first sql transforms. I never thought TDD sql would be possible. My sql is so much more readable with common logic extracted into ephmeral models. I practice same method to write clear code to write sql, eg: too many mocks = refactor into separate model ( class) .
I think DBT made this possible with refs that can be swapped out with mocks. This is the awesome library I am using https://github.com/EqualExperts/dbt-unit-testing

I'm not getting it...what's the point of DBT?
Take a look at gitlab's dbt project: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-data/analytics/-/blob/master/transform/snowflake-dbt/models/common/schema.yml

How would you structure a repo with 10+ ETL pipelines and shared code?
A good reference is the Gitlab data team repo. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-data/analytics
- What are your favourite GitHub repos that shows how data engineering should be done?
-
Are there any open corporate Data Team repositories / projects besides GitLab?
For example, their Data Team have a public repository, with a bunch of information on how they organize DAGs, machine learning projects, system configuration, etc.
- Kimball Dim Modelling Code Examples
- Can someone help me, an absolute newbie, understand the usage and benefit of dbt with practical example ?

Is jinja templating right for DBT?
So I've run through the DBT tutorial stuff and looked over some fairly complex uses of it i.e. GitLab Data and I was wondering if anyone has any opinions or insights into the use of jinja templating in the sql?
-
Where can I find free data engineering ( big data) projects online?
Gitlab has their DBT repo open source and is very useful for seeing how to structure a project at scale. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-data/analytics/-/tree/master/transform/snowflake-dbt

Can someone explain the big deal with dbt?
GitLab's dbt project is an excellent example of a mature project at scale. They also have a comprehensive guide to their methodology.
What are some alternatives?
sqlglot - Python SQL Parser and Transpiler
castled - Castled is an open source reverse ETL solution that helps you to periodically sync the data in your db/warehouse into sales, marketing, support or custom apps without any help from engineering teams
integresql - IntegreSQL manages isolated PostgreSQL databases for your integration tests.
