π Welcome to r/altimate - Introduce Yourself and Read First!
Welcome to r/altimate: read this first
Hi all, I'm u/fraser_altimate and I'm one of the founding moderators here.
What Altimate is
Altimate AI builds tools for data engineers:
- altimate-code: an open-source CLI agent for data engineering work, like writing and fixing dbt models, tracing lineage, and debugging SQL.
- Power User for dbt: the VS Code extension for dbt development.
- Altimate Lite: a Snowflake Native App that finds warehouse cost savings.
- Altimate for Databricks: automate the optimization of your Databricks workspace
This sub is for people who use these tools, or are trying to decide whether to.
What to post
- Questions about setup, config, or odd behavior
- Workflows you've built with altimate-code or dbt Power User
- Prompts, configs, or scripts that work well for you
- Feature requests and feedback, including critical feedback
- Comparisons with other tools, if you've used them
- General dbt, Snowflake, or Databricks questions where the tooling is part of the problem
For confirmed bugs, please also open a GitHub issue so engineering can track it, and link it here.
Ground rules
- Be helpful and specific. Include versions, warehouse, and error text when asking for help.
- No spam or unrelated self-promotion.
- Altimate employees will have a flair so you know who you're talking to.
How to get started
- Introduce yourself in the comments: what you work on and which stack you use.
- Post a question or a workflow. Short posts are fine.
- If you know someone who'd find this useful, send them the link.
- Want to help moderate? Message me.
Thanks for joining early.
