Connect Azure Blob Storage and
dbt with AI

Redbird AI automates the connection between your Azure data lake and dbt transformation layer. Stop manually monitoring blob uploads, writing custom ingestion scripts, or building fragile pipelines to move data from storage to your warehouse for transformation.

What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Auto-trigger dbt runs when new data files land in blob containers

Automatically detect new CSV, JSON, or Parquet files uploaded to specific Azure Blob containers and trigger targeted dbt model runs. Redbird monitors your storage paths, validates file schemas match your dbt sources, and initiates incremental model refreshes without manual orchestration.

Archive dbt test failure artifacts to Azure Blob for debugging

Capture failed test results, compiled SQL queries, and row-level samples from dbt test runs and store them in Azure Blob Storage. Analytics engineers can review historical test failures and track data quality issues over time without cluttering warehouse tables.

Sync raw landing zone files to dbt source freshness checks automatically

Monitor Azure Blob containers serving as your data lake landing zone and update dbt source freshness metadata in real-time. When upstream data files are delayed or missing, Redbird alerts your team before downstream models break.

Generate dbt staging models from new Azure Blob file schemas

When new file types appear in your blob storage, Redbird analyzes the schema and auto-generates skeleton dbt staging models with appropriate column types and source configurations. Reduces the manual work of scaffolding models for each new data source.

Export dbt documentation catalog to blob storage for cross-team access

Automatically publish compiled dbt documentation artifacts, lineage graphs, and data dictionaries to Azure Blob Storage after each production run. Makes dbt-generated documentation accessible to teams who don't have direct warehouse access.

Alert on blob file schema drift before dbt models fail

Redbird compares incoming blob file schemas against your dbt source definitions and alerts analytics engineers when column types change, fields are removed, or unexpected data formats arrive. Catch breaking changes before they cause model failures during transformation.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Azure Blob Storage and dbt with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird AI understands both unstructured blob storage patterns and dbt's declarative transformation framework, intelligently bridging raw file ingestion with analytics-ready modeling.

AI that reads blob schemas and dbt source contracts

Redbird automatically parses file formats in your Azure Blob containers—CSV headers, JSON structures, Parquet schemas—and maps them to your dbt source YML definitions. It detects when blob file layouts match or deviate from expected dbt sources, validates column-level compatibility, and identifies which dbt models depend on specific storage paths. No need to manually sync metadata or write custom schema validation scripts.

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Azure Blob Storage and dbt simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either Azure Blob Storage or dbt.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from Azure Blob Storage into dbt, or from dbt back into Azure Blob Storage. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start automations from any blob storage event or dbt workflow step—Redbird connects the full data pipeline from landing zone to transformation layer.

Azure Blob Storage
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

New file uploaded to container

Fires when files matching specific patterns or paths are added to Azure Blob Storage containers.

Trigger

File schema differs from expected

Triggers when uploaded file structure doesn't match predefined column types or field names.

Trigger

Container storage threshold exceeded

Activates when blob container size or file count crosses defined limits for archival or cleanup.

Action

Move or copy files between containers

Organize blobs across containers based on workflow logic, like archiving processed files.

Action

Tag blobs with metadata properties

Apply custom metadata tags to files for downstream processing categorization or compliance tracking.

Action

Delete processed or stale files

Remove files from containers after successful ingestion or based on retention policies.

dbt
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

dbt model run completes

Fires when specific dbt models or full project runs finish, whether successful or failed.

Trigger

dbt test fails

Triggers when data quality tests fail, capturing test names and affected row counts.
