Next-generation data transformation framework

Project description

SQLMesh logo

SQLMesh is a project of the Linux Foundation.

SQLMesh is a next-generation data transformation framework designed to ship data quickly, efficiently, and without error. Data teams can run and deploy data transformations written in SQL or Python with visibility and control at any size.

It is more than just a dbt alternative.

Core Features

SQLMesh Plan Mode

Get instant SQL impact and context of your changes, both in the CLI and in the SQLMesh VSCode Extension

Virtual Data Environments
  • Create isolated development environments without data warehouse costs
  • Plan / Apply workflow like Terraform to understand potential impact of changes
  • Easy to use CI/CD bot for true blue-green deployments
Efficiency and Testing

Running this command will generate a unit test file in the tests/ folder: test_stg_payments.yaml

Runs a live query to generate the expected output of the model

sqlmesh create_test tcloud_demo.stg_payments --query tcloud_demo.seed_raw_payments "select * from tcloud_demo.seed_raw_payments limit 5"

# run the unit test
sqlmesh test
MODEL (
  name tcloud_demo.stg_payments,
  cron '@daily',
  grain payment_id,
  audits (UNIQUE_VALUES(columns = (
      payment_id
  )), NOT_NULL(columns = (
      payment_id
  )))
);

SELECT
    id AS payment_id,
    order_id,
    payment_method,
    amount / 100 AS amount, /* `amount` is currently stored in cents, so we convert it to dollars */
    'new_column' AS new_column, /* non-breaking change example  */

test_stg_payments:

  • Never build a table more than once
  • Track what data’s been modified and run only the necessary transformations for incremental models
  • Run unit tests for free and configure automated audits
  • Run table diffs between prod and dev based on tables/views impacted by a change
Level Up Your SQL Write SQL in any dialect and SQLMesh will transpile it to your target SQL dialect on the fly before sending it to the warehouse. Transpile Example
  • Debug transformation errors before you run them in your warehouse in 10+ different SQL dialects
  • Definitions using simply SQL (no need for redundant and confusing Jinja + YAML)
  • See impact of changes before you run them in your warehouse with column-level lineage

Getting Started

Install SQLMesh through pypi by running:

mkdir sqlmesh-example
cd sqlmesh-example
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install 'sqlmesh[lsp]' # install the sqlmesh package with extensions to work with VSCode
source .venv/bin/activate # reactivate the venv to ensure you're using the right installation
sqlmesh init # follow the prompts to get started (choose DuckDB)

Note: You may need to run python3 or pip3 instead of python or pip, depending on your python installation.

Windows Installation
mkdir sqlmesh-example
cd sqlmesh-example
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install 'sqlmesh[lsp]' # install the sqlmesh package with extensions to work with VSCode
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 # reactivate the venv to ensure you're using the right installation
sqlmesh init # follow the prompts to get started (choose DuckDB)
