Transformations in Dremio: Concepts and Best Practices

This session explains how to design clean and scalable transformation logic in Dremio. It shows how to break work into layers that move data from raw to organized to purpose-built structures. You will see how Dremio views allow you to model each stage without copying data, which keeps pipelines simple and reduces cost. The session covers principles for shaping raw tables, building reusable silver models, and creating focused gold views for dashboards and applications. It also shows how these patterns fit well with ELT, Iceberg tables, and tools like dbt. You will walk away with a clear plan for how to design transformation flows that stay easy to maintain and adapt as your data grows.
