Your intro video started with the assumption, I think, that a team already has some infra relating to this called DBT. It would be nice to have a video for onboarding from scratch assuming there's no data prior effort toward data observability.

Pre-built integrations are a big part of what makes onboarding easy but it sort of ends up in a catch-22 situation where whichever integrations gets highlighted is only directly applicable to the people using those tools.

If you have a different toolset onboarding will look exactly the same though, there's nothing truly DBT specific at work here. It's a good idea though! We really should put together a few other combinations so more people can see their own stack represented.

Just a side note, DBT is being required everywhere these days
I believe you w.r.t. tech-first companies. I work in a tiny software dept in a small service company and we have no infrastructure like this at all. It would be nice to know how I can go from zero-to-Grai.
What does your data stack look like? I'll put something together specifically for you.
