Designing a "low-effort" ELT system, using stitch and dbt

With the advent of powerful data warehouses like snowflake, bigquery, redshift spectrum, etc that allow separation of storage and execution, it has become very economical to store data in the data warehouse and then transform them as required. This post goes over how to design such a ELT system using stitch and DBT. The main objective is to keep the code complexity and server management low, while automating as much as possible
