Latest developments in AutomateDV: pilot your Data Vault project for free

If you missed our April 2021 webinar with Alex Higgs, Chris Fisher, and Borna Almasi, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! This session was all about AutomateDV: what it is, why it matters, and how you can use it to jumpstart your Data Vault 2.0 journey with speed, agility, and zero cost.

Why AutomateDV?

AutomateDV is designed to automate the “hard stuff” in Data Vault 2.0 projects. It helps you build a robust, scalable data warehouse fast, supports rapid prototyping, and is entirely metadata-driven. Best of all, it’s free, open source, and backed by a growing, active community—just like ours

What Makes AutomateDV Special?

• Automates Data Vault 2.0 structures—no hand-coding required

• Ideal for pilots and proof-of-concepts—lowering the barrier to entry

• Rapid experimentation—prove your case before investing big

• Metadata-driven—you provide the metadata, dbtvault does the rest

• Extensive documentation and examples—get started quickly

• Active community support—ask questions, share ideas, and grow together

How Does AutomateDV Fit Into Your Data Pipeline?

AutomateDV sits at the heart of your modern data pipeline, working seamlessly with dbt and Snowflake to transform, load, and manage your Data Vault structures. It’s built for data engineers who want to focus on value, not boilerplate code.

Real-World Impact

The webinar featured a user example from Borna Almasi at Georgian, where dbtvault handled 3+ billion row feeds without issue and enabled fast business rule development in large agile teams. dbtvault is proven at scale and ready for your toughest data challenges.

What’s Next for AutomateDV?

The team is constantly innovating, with features like multi-active satellites, extended record tracking, out-of-sequence loading, PITs, bridges, and more on the roadmap. They’re also looking at Snowflake external table support, custom schema tests, and even a CLI tool for easier management.
