Nice, the demo is cool. How do you differentiate from DBT?
1 comments

first you extract and load data with dlt and then you transform them with dbt. so both tools work very well together. we did a really cool helper to make it easier(https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/transformations/dbt/) (I'm one of core devs in dltHub)
Can the Destinations also natively be used as Sources?
1) Yes. We support all the databases and buckets as data sources as well. Some examples: - get data from any sql database: https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/sql_d... or https://dlthub.com/docs/getting-started#load-data-from-a-var... - do it super quickly with pyarrow: https://dlthub.com/docs/examples/connector_x_arrow/ - get data from any storage bucket:https://github.com/dlt-hub/verified-sources/tree/master/sour... 2) Strictly technical answer: on the code level sources and destinations are different Python objects so the answer is no:) but you as a user rarely deal with them directly when coding
