Versions:
dbt Fusion 2.0.0-preview.168, published by dbt Labs, is a command-line analytics engineering tool that rewrites the core dbt engine to accelerate every stage of SQL-based data transformation. Designed for analysts and analytics engineers who manage large-scale warehouse workloads, the application parses, compiles, and executes dbt projects against Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, PostgreSQL, and Amazon Redshift through modern ADBC adapters, cutting run times for typical DAGs by an order of magnitude compared with the legacy engine. The rewrite supports both interactive development—invoked directly from PowerShell, bash, or the integrated terminal inside Visual Studio Code via the official dbt extension—and unattended production jobs triggered by orchestrators such as Airflow, GitHub Actions, or dbt Cloud. Engineers can validate SQL syntax, resolve macros, build dependency graphs, and materialize models incrementally without leaving their local IDE, while data platform teams gain repeatable, version-controlled deployments that promote identical artifacts across dev, staging, and prod environments. Four preview builds have been released to date, each refining the parser, expanding adapter coverage, and tightening compatibility with existing dbt projects, so teams can adopt the faster engine without refactoring established semantics or folder structures. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
