Use Cases :

Data lineage graph

To make data teams more efficient, a data lineage graph can be used to find problems in the data easier and faster. It also makes it simpler for new members of the team, data analysts or other colleagues to understand the data pipeline.

• dbt

The data lineage graph includes the source table in the data warehouse, the tables after the different transformations and the dashboard in which the business value of the tables is displayed. It is however not possible to hover above or click on the tables and see more information.

• Delta Live Tables

The data lineage graph shows the tables that load data from the data lake and the different tables after transformation. More information about the different tables can be obtained by clicking on the tables.

• Comparison

Both show the tables of the sources and the transformations, but only dbt also shows what the end point of the data is, either if this is a dashboard, application or a data science pipeline.
