   Discontinued dbt enables data analysts and engineers to transform their data using the same practices that software engineers use to build applications. [Moved to: https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core]

   

   Due to the rise in cloud-based data warehouses, businesses can directly load all the raw data into the data warehouse without prior transformations. This process is known as ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) and gives data and analytics teams freedom to develop ad-hoc transformations based on their particular needs. ELT became popular as the cloud's processing power and scale became better suited to transforming data. DBT (website, GitHub) is a popular open-source tool recommended for ELT and allows businesses to transform data in their warehouses more effectively. It's a great pairing with with RudderStack's Cloud Extract ETL tool.

4. PostgreSQL

   Moreover, using open-source warehouse tools can allow unlocking additional insights from your data in real-time and at a lesser cost. PostgreSQL (website, repo) is a popular example of an efficient and low-cost data warehousing solution. Another example is ClickHouse (website, GitHub), an open-source, analytics-focused DBMS that allows generating analytical reports from data in real-time using SQL.

5. Apache Kafka

   4 31 30,140 10.0 Java

   Mirror of Apache Kafka

   

   With the increase in real-time data streams and event streams, certain use cases emerged that require access to real-time data such as financial services risk reporting or detecting a credit card fraud. Real-time streams can be obtained using a stream processing framework like Apache Kafka (website, GitHub). The focus is to direct the stream of data from various sources into reliable queues where data can be automatically transformed, stored, analyzed and reported concurrently.
