We (Aleksandar and Georg) want to share our new blog post on: "Dagster, dbt, DuckDB as new local MDS" here. It re-introduces the local environment to enhance the developer productivity for data pipelines by bringing back software engineering best practices. We suggest that PaaS platforms should become an implementation detail and refine the new local stack with great a data consumer experience by combining the best of both worlds.

Please take a read here: https://georgheiler.com/2023/12/11/dagster-dbt-duckdb-as-new...

We (Georg Heiler and Aleksandar Milicevic) are keen to discuss the proposed new stack with you. Do not hesitate to reach out.
