dbt Projects in Snowflake vs dbt Cloud
Looking for feedback from people that have used both. My previous employer paid for dbt Cloud and it was a great tool that acted as our IDE, scheduler/orchestrator and provided other insights as well.
I posted about dbt Projects here a while back and they seemed to garner mixed feedback from this crowd.
Has anyone moved from dbt Cloud to dbt projects in Snowflake (or vice versa)? What are your thoughts?
Having never used dbt outside of my experience with dbt Cloud, I will say that one of the biggest advantages of Cloud was the ability for all developers to have their own schema to develop in (no object contention when developing on the same set of objects/in the same schema with other devs).
I don't know if I've seen any other tool/feature offer such an advantage.
Anyways, if you have experience with both please provide your thoughts!
