What was announced at the dbt Coalesce 2024 keynote?

Cross-platform dbt Mesh with Iceberg (Announced), Visual editing experience (Preview), Advanced CI (Announced), Semantic layer integrations (Announced).

What were the highlights of the dbt Coalesce 2024 keynote?

Tristan Handy's theme was "One dbt": one workflow across clouds, data platforms, teams and skill levels, from dbt Core users to analysts in a new visual editor. The product segments added Apache Iceberg support so dbt Mesh works across platforms, AI help for writing tests and docs, Advanced CI to preview data changes, and semantic layer integrations for BI and AI. One dbt: teams on different clouds and data platforms, like Databricks and Snowflake, can reference each other's projects. A new visual editing experience in dbt Cloud lets less technical teams build on central dbt models. Models can be stored in Apache Iceberg format with a one-line config, so data is shared without replication.
