Summary
In this chapter, we learned about dimensional data and how it enhances the usability of data platforms and data marts. We learned how to incorporate dimensional data in our data platform, using the basic features of dbt.
We reinforced our understanding of the layers of our Pragmatic Data Platform that we learned about in the previous chapters and applied those principles to work with dimensional data.
In the next chapter, we will start exploring more advanced features that will allow us to replace some of the basic code to produce a more resilient and easier-to-write and easier-to-maintain data platform.
