dbt Project Dependencies

When using dbt projects as dependencies it is recommended to add all of them into a single datasource, this would give you a more complete lineage view while decreasing code duplication.

How to manage your projects

Once your data source is created you will se a "Projects" tab in the data source settings where you can Add or remove additional projects.

Editing a data source with multiple projects

When configuring a datasource that has more than one project there will be a notification at the bottom of the form letting you know this is the case and pointing you to the projects settings.

How the project's data is processed

  1. Once your datasource is ingested all projects will be processed, de-duplicating the objects found

  2. The lineage view will now show lineage across dbt objects across all projects that have been added in the same data source
