superset
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.

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

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.

- 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.

Apache Superset
Superset is absolutely phenomenal. I really hope Microsoft eventually releases all of their customizations they made to it internally to the OS community someday.

A modern data stack for startups
I recently ran a little shootout between Superset, Metabase, and Lightdash. All have nontrivial weaknesses but I ended up picking Lightdash.
Superset the best of them at _data visualization_ but I honestly found it almost useless for self-serve _BI_ by business users. This issue on how to do joins in Superset (with stalebot making a mess XD) is everything difficult about Superset for BI in a nutshell. https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/8645
Metabase is pretty great and it's definitely the right choice for a startup looking to get low cost BI set up. It still has a very table centric view, but feels built for _BI_ rather than visualization alone.
Lightdash has significant warts (YAML, pivoting being done in the frontend, no symmetric aggregates) but the Looker inspiration is obvious and it makes it easy to present _groups of tables_ to business users ready to rock. I liked Looker before Google acquired it. My business users are comfortable with star and snowflake schemas (not that they know those words) and it was easy to drop Lightdash on top of our existing data warehouse.

Apache Superset: Installing locally is easy using the makefile
Are you interested in trying out Superset, but you're intimidated by the local setup process? Worry not! Superset needs some initial setup to install locally, but I've got a streamlined way to get started - using the makefile! This file contains a set of scripts to simplify the setup process.

More public SQL-queryable databases?
Recently I discovered BigQuery public datasets - just over 200 datasets available for directly querying via SQL. I think this is a great thing! I can connect these direct to an analytics platform (we use Apache Superset which uses Python SQLAlchemy under the hood) for example and just start dashboarding.

How useful is SQL for managers?
