Semantic Layer API
The dbt Semantic Layer allows you to define metrics in code (with MetricFlow) and dynamically generate and query datasets in downstream tools based on their dbt governed assets, such as metrics and models. Integrating with the dbt Semantic Layer will help organizations that use your product make more efficient and trustworthy decisions with their data. It also helps you to avoid duplicative coding, optimize development workflow, ensure data governance, and guarantee consistency for data consumers.
You can use the dbt Semantic Layer for a variety of tools and applications of data. Some common use cases are:
- Business intelligence (BI), reporting, and analytics
- Data quality and monitoring
- Governance and privacy
- Data discovery and cataloging
- Machine learning and data science
The re-released dbt Semantic Layer is available on dbt v1.6 or higher. dbt Core users can use the MetricFlow CLI to define metrics in their local project, but won't be able to dynamically query them with integrated tools.
