The Components of the dbt Fusion engine and how they fit together
Today, we announced the dbt Fusion engine.
Fusion isn't just one thing — it's a set of interconnected components working together to power the next generation of analytics engineering.
This post maps out each piece of the Fusion architecture, explains how they fit together, and clarifies what's available to you whether you're compiling from source, using our pre-built binaries, or developing within a dbt Fusion powered product experience.
From the Rust engine to the VS Code extension, through to new Arrow-based adapters and Apache-licensed foundational technologies, we'll break down exactly what each component does, how each component is licensed (for why, see Tristan's accompanying post), and how you can start using it and get involved today.
