THE ROAD TO DBT V1.0
summary
dbt Core moves from 0.x to 1.0 by locking down metadata artifact contracts, splitting adapters and plugins into separate repos for better maintenance, and targeting massive startup and runtime speedups — from eight minutes to a goal of 5 seconds startup via partial parsing and a new static parser that yields ~3x–99x gains depending on project size. Semantic versioning rules and clearer adapter interfaces enable safer upgrades and wider extensibility.
