dbt-labs/dbt-fusion

This repo hosts components of the dbt Fusion engine, the foundation for future innovation in dbt. The dbt Fusion engine is written in Rust and is designed for speed, correctness, and has a native understanding of SQL across multiple data warehouse SQL dialects.

Bugs and missing functionality compared to dbt Core will be resolved continuously in the leadup to a final release (more info: the dbt Fusion Engine: the Path to GA).

The dbt Fusion engine is a ground up, first principles rewrite of the dbt Core execution engine, built to be interoperable with the standard dbt authoring layer. Fusion enforces some ambiguous areas of the authoring spec more strictly than dbt Core to ensure correctness (for example, dbt Core does not proactively validate most YAML configurations). Many of these discrepancies can be fixed automatically with the dbt Autofix tool.

Beyond conformance with dbt Core, Fusion also contains new SQL Comprehension capabilities, a language server, modern ADBC drivers for warehouse connections, and more. While dbt Core was written in Python, the dbt Fusion engine is written in Rust, and compiled to a single application binary.

You can install dbt-fusion onto your local machine, a docker container, or a machine in the cloud. It is designed for flexible installation, with no dependencies on other libraries. The only libraries that dbt Fusion will load are it's corresponding database drivers.
