Why AutomateDV? A Tool Built by Developers, for Developers

The AutomateDV team knows what it’s like to want hands-on practice with Data Vault 2.0. That’s why AutomateDV is designed as a true developer’s tool:

  • Practice and experiment with Data Vault 2.0 in a safe, robust ecosystem

  • Emphasis on testing—because reliable data warehouses need strong test support

  • Extensible and natural—powerful SQL templating with Jinja, rapid iteration, and easy custom package building


What’s New in AutomateDV?


Latest Release (0.7.9) Highlights:

  • Point in Time (PIT) Tables: Query helper tables for the Business Vault, providing snapshots across multiple satellites and supporting equi-joins with time variation logic.

  • Bridge Tables: Join multiple hubs and links for reporting performance, with the ability to add aggregates and offload computation from reports.

  • Extended Tracking Satellites (XTS): Record every record’s ingestion, making it easier to replay loads and rebuild source systems.

  • Multi-Active Satellite Improvements: Simpler, more performant SQL with better test coverage and easier logic.

  • Quality of Life Updates: Hashing configuration options, composite primary key consistency, incremental load improvements, and more test coverage.

  • Bug Fixes: Making dbtvault even more robust for your projects.


What’s Next for AutomateDV?

  • Effectivity Satellite improvements (0.7.10): Simpler metadata, logical column names, and active state flags.

  • Platform Expansion: Support for Databricks, Postgres, Azure Synapse, Redshift, BigQuery, and SQL Server.
