Connect dbt and
Snowflake with AI

Redbird AI automates the workflow between your transformation layer and data warehouse. Stop manually monitoring model runs, investigating failed tests, or copying lineage documentation between systems—let AI handle deployment validation, query optimization, and data quality reporting end-to-end.

What you can automate today

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

Auto-document dbt model lineage and test coverage in Snowflake table comments

When dbt models are deployed, automatically sync column descriptions, test definitions, and upstream dependencies to Snowflake table and column metadata. Analytics engineers get self-documenting warehouse schemas without manual annotation.

Alert data team when dbt test failures correlate with Snowflake query patterns

Monitor Snowflake query history alongside dbt test results to identify which model failures impact downstream BI queries. Automatically surface which dashboards or users are affected by failing transformations.

Optimize Snowflake warehouse sizing based on dbt model execution patterns

Analyze dbt run duration and resource consumption in Snowflake query logs. Automatically recommend warehouse scaling strategies, clustering keys, or materialization changes to reduce compute costs for specific model sets.

Generate weekly data quality reports combining dbt test results and Snowflake metrics

Compile dbt schema test outcomes, freshness checks, and Snowflake table growth statistics into unified quality dashboards. Surface anomalies like unexpected row count changes or test pass rate degradation across the warehouse.

Sync production Snowflake schema changes back to dbt source definitions

When upstream source tables in Snowflake gain new columns or change data types, automatically update corresponding dbt source YAML files. Keep transformation code in sync with evolving warehouse schemas without manual audits.

Archive historical dbt model performance metrics from Snowflake query history

Continuously capture execution times, bytes scanned, and partition pruning effectiveness for every dbt-generated query in Snowflake. Build long-term performance baselines to detect model regressions and justify warehouse optimizations.

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 Snowflake 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 DAG structure and Snowflake's warehouse architecture—mapping transformation logic to query execution and maintaining consistency across your entire analytics stack.

AI that reads dbt project metadata and Snowflake information schemas

Redbird parses dbt manifest.json, run_results.json, and catalog files to understand model dependencies, test configurations, and materialization strategies. It simultaneously monitors Snowflake's ACCOUNT_USAGE views and INFORMATION_SCHEMA to track table lineage, query performance, and warehouse compute patterns. The AI automatically correlates dbt model names with their materialized Snowflake objects, matching transformation logic to actual warehouse execution behavior without manual mapping.

faster dbt-to-Snowflake deployment validation vs manual checks

No custom SQL scripts to compare warehouse state against dbt expectations or manual review of information_schema differences

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from dbt and Snowflake 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 Snowflake.

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 Snowflake, or from Snowflake 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 dbt model deployments, test outcomes, or Snowflake warehouse events—then take action in either system automatically.
