dbt run orchestration

The dbt run orchestration workflow in dbt-Workbench centralizes execution, monitoring, and artifact tracking. Run commands directly from the UI, stream logs in real time, and review artifacts on a per-run basis.

Execution workflow​

  • Execution buttons for dbt run, dbt test, dbt seed, and dbt docs generate.
  • Live log streaming with terminal-style output.
  • Artifacts per run saved alongside run history.
  • Run history with status, duration, and quick access to logs.

Operational guardrails​

  • Seed-aware warnings when downstream models need fresh seeds.
  • Concurrency controls via MAX_CONCURRENT_RUNS.
  • Logs persist even when runs fail early to preserve error context.

Connect to the scheduler and environments​

Scheduled runs inherit dbt profiles and targets from their selected environments. Review:
