Overview

This tutorial demonstrates how to install Apache Airflow on a local machine, configure the workflow to use dbt teradata to run dbt transformations using the astronomer cosmos library, and run it against a Teradata database. Apache Airflow is a task scheduling tool that is typically used to build data pipelines to process and load data. Astronomer cosmos library simplifies orchestrating dbt data transformations in Apache Airflow. Using Cosmos, allows running dbt Core projects as Apache Airflow DAGs and Task Groups with a few lines of code. In this example, we will explain how to use astronomer cosmos to run dbt transformations in airflow against Teradata.
