eventsim VS corp

In my last real-time sideproject, I used an open source music app simulator called Eventsim. The original doesn't work anymore, but this repo still did when I used it around Nov/Dec.

You can use this event simulator repo perhaps? They have a docker file as well. Hope this helps.

Eventsim is a program that generates event data to replicate page requests for a fake music web site. The results look like real use data, but are totally fake. The docker image is borrowed from viirya's fork of it, as the original project has gone without maintenance for a few years now.

Here's one that covers some of your points and that I like in general: https://github.com/dbt-labs/corp/blob/main/dbt_style_guide.md Except instead of prefixing my table names with the processing stage, I keep them in schemas by processing stage (source, staging, analytics). So, I can tell my analysts to look into the analytics schema for all the final tables, and they won't be bothered by intermediate models. The table names also have a precise structure that corresponds to our specific subject.

I find the content more or less ripped from of dbt's own styleguide

For anyone wondering this is the DBT style guide I am referencing from.

While the tool choice is obvious, how to use dbt is going to be a more controversial. There's a load of great resources on dbt best practices, but as you can see from my Slack questions, there's enough ambiguity to tie you up.

Just a slight critique, but I noticed some of the dbt models are a bit hard to read. Especially your dim_users SCD2 model, which uses lots of nested subqueries and multiple columns on the same line. You may want to refer to this style guide from dbt Labs. I find CTEs are a lot easier to parse and read.

I really like thisthis SQL STYLE GUIDE, and if you use dbt, the dbt style guide.

I like this one very much from dbt very much.

I recommend you write one. You can take inspiration from dbt's one or Gitlab

I've seen fishtown analytics coding conventions recommend a lot around here, but there are a few things about their recommendations of CTE use that confuse me.
