DBT Labs has officially introduced dbt Mesh to manage complex data transformations at scale. With dbt Mesh, different teams can now build and maintain their own independent dbt projects while still collaborating through clearly defined contracts. This modular approach addresses the growing challenges of centralised dbt setups, offering greater scalability, team autonomy, and governance. Teams can reference models across projects securely, enabling faster development without the risk of unintended data issues. DBT Cloud provides visibility and control over cross-project dependencies, making collaboration smoother. While dbt Mesh improves agility, it also requires strong governance practices and careful communication between teams.
