dbt shows you your models. Your data pipeline is bigger than that.
dbt made transformations testable and documented. But the DAG stops at the edge of the project, docs go stale the moment someone forgets to run them, and a test failure in the log tells you something broke without telling you who owns it, how bad it is, or which dashboard is now wrong.
Everything dbt knows, plus everything around it.
DBT CATALOG
Every model, browsable and always current.
Browse all your dbt models, sources, seeds and snapshots in a searchable catalog with their descriptions, owners, tags, columns and current test status side by side. What exists and whether it can be trusted show up together, with lineage and test history one click away.
AUTOMATIC METADATA SYNC
Zero maintenance. Your dbt project is the source of truth
Point SelectZero at your dbt project and it syncs the metadata automatically after every run: model and column descriptions, tags, meta fields, owners, sources, exposures and test definitions. Change a description in YAML and it shows up in the catalog. No manual documentation, no second copy to keep in step.
TEST MANAGEMENT
dbt tests, synced and finally manageable.
Every dbt test becomes a SelectZero test automatically, with its full run history retained. On top of what dbt gives you, add the attributes a real team needs: an owner who gets alerted, a severity, a data quality dimension, a schedule, notification channels and a pass/fail trend over time. Add SQL validations and reconciliations for the checks dbt tests cannot express, and manage all of them in one place.
dbt is the middle of your pipeline. SelectZero shows the ends too.
Most problems do not start inside dbt. They start in a source system that changed a column, or end in a dashboard that quietly shows the wrong number. SelectZero connects directly to the systems on both sides of your dbt project.
UPSTREAM
Source systems
Profile and validate the raw tables before dbt touches them. Catch schema drift, late loads and unexpected values at the source, with lineage that starts at the operational database, not at stg_.
MIDDLE
dbt
Models, tests, docs and run results synced automatically. Column-level lineage through every model.
DOWNSTREAM
BI and consumers
Lineage extends into Power BI, Tableau and other consumers. Know exactly which report, which visual, which metric depends on a column before you change it, and who to tell when a test fails.
Running in an afternoon.
One container, one connection, one dbt project. No agents on your systems, no changes to your dbt project or pipelines.
1
Deploy
Run SelectZero with Docker, Docker Compose or Kubernetes, in your cloud or on-prem. Your data never leaves your infrastructure.
2
Connect your warehouse
Add the connection to Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, PostgreSQL or any other supported database. Read-only is enough.
3
Add your dbt project
Point SelectZero at your dbt project artifacts or your dbt Cloud API. Models, tests and lineage appear within minutes and stay in sync.
Free for your dbt project.
SelectZero dbt is the full catalog, lineage and test management experience for your dbt project, at no cost, for as long as you want. Self-hosted, so there is no usage meter and nothing leaves your network. When you want to bring the rest of your estate under management, upgrade to a paid plan.
