Connect dbt and MySQL with AI

Redbird AI automatically syncs operational data from MySQL into dbt transformation pipelines and writes transformed analytics back to MySQL tables. Stop manually exporting production data, running transformation scripts, and updating operational tables with aggregated metrics.

What you can automate today

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

Sync MySQL operational tables to dbt staging models automatically

Automatically detect new or updated MySQL tables and generate corresponding dbt staging models with proper schema definitions. Redbird monitors your production MySQL databases and keeps dbt source configurations synchronized, eliminating manual YAML updates and schema drift.

Write dbt transformation results back to MySQL reporting tables

Push completed dbt model outputs from your data warehouse back into MySQL tables that power operational dashboards and applications. Redbird handles incremental updates, schema changes, and ensures your production MySQL reporting layer stays current with your analytics transformations.

Alert when dbt test failures indicate MySQL data quality issues

Monitor dbt test results for models sourced from MySQL and automatically flag upstream data quality problems in your operational databases. Redbird correlates test failures with specific MySQL tables and columns, giving engineering teams actionable alerts about production data issues.

Generate dbt documentation from MySQL schema metadata automatically

Pull column descriptions, foreign key relationships, and table metadata from MySQL information_schema and automatically populate dbt model documentation. Redbird keeps your dbt docs synchronized with production database schemas without manual YAML maintenance.

Archive historical MySQL snapshots using dbt snapshot models

Automatically configure and run dbt snapshot models for critical MySQL tables that need slowly-changing dimension tracking. Redbird identifies tables with update patterns requiring historical preservation and generates snapshot model code that captures changes over time.

Sync dbt metric definitions to MySQL materialized views for application access

Convert dbt metrics and aggregate models into MySQL materialized views that applications can query directly. Redbird translates your analytics layer definitions into optimized MySQL structures, ensuring consistent metric calculations between BI tools and operational systems.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize dbt and MySQL 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 dbt's transformation workflow semantics and MySQL's relational schema structures, enabling intelligent automation across your analytics and operational data layers.

AI that reads dbt models and MySQL schemas natively

Redbird parses dbt project files, model dependencies, and test definitions while simultaneously mapping MySQL table structures, foreign key relationships, and index configurations. It understands how your dbt staging models map to MySQL source tables, identifies schema drift automatically, and knows which transformed outputs should flow back into operational tables. The AI recognizes data type conversions between your warehouse and MySQL, handles incremental model logic, and maintains referential integrity across both systems.

faster than custom scripts to sync dbt and MySQL

No Python ETL scripts, manual schema mapping, or cron job maintenance required

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from dbt and MySQL 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 dbt or MySQL.

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 dbt into MySQL, or from MySQL back into dbt. 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 workflows from any dbt run event or MySQL schema change, then automate actions across both systems.
