Summary

Congratulations – your first data application is running!

In this chapter, we started to develop our example application in dbt and followed all the steps to create, deploy, test, and document a data application, even if this one is still very simple.

In the next chapter, we will introduce more real-life requirements for this data application and we will have to adapt our code to consider them, so we will start to learn how to refactor our models and write maintainable code.
