dvt = dbt Visualisation Tool

Visualize the timeline of your dbt runs.

• just run dvt after dbt run/test/build
• generates an HTML page in target/ directory with the timeline of your run and opens it immediately
• helps spot run bottlenecks, long-running models, and where to spend most of your time optimising things
• colorize executions by type (models/tests/ops), path (staging/abc, marts/), prefix (stg_, int_, mart_)

Install

pip install dbt-dvt
