SQLMesh is a next-generation data transformation and modeling framework that is backwards compatible with dbt. It aims to be easy to use, correct, and efficient.
SQLMesh enables data teams to efficiently run and deploy data transformations written in SQL or Python.
It is more than just a [dbt alternative](https://tobikodata.com/reduce_costs_with_cron_and_partitions.html).

<summary><b>Efficiency and Testing</b></summary>
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
```bash
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
```
```sql
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 */
FROM tcloud_demo.seed_raw_payments
```
```yaml

model: tcloud_demo.stg_payments

<summary><b>Take SQL Anywhere</b></summary>
Write SQL in any dialect and SQLMesh will transpile it to your target SQL dialect on the fly before sending it to the warehouse.
<img src="https://github.com/TobikoData/sqlmesh/blob/main/docs/readme/transpile_example.png?raw=true" alt="Transpile Example">
</details>
* Compile time error checking and can transpile [10+ different SQL dialects](https://sqlmesh.readthedocs.io/en/stable/integrations/overview/#execution-engines)
* Definitions using [simply SQL](https://sqlmesh.readthedocs.io/en/stable/concepts/models/sql_models/#sql-based-definition) (no need for redundant and confusing Jinja + YAML)
* [Self documenting queries](https://tobikodata.com/metadata-everywhere.html) using native SQL Comments
