Hi all - due to a Google permissions issue, we've had to update the events calendar URL. Add this calendar to stay updated on Prefect virtual and live events! Note that the email devx@prefect.io will show up at first, but the name of the calendar will appear as Prefect Community Calendar. This one you will be able to see all event details. Sorry for the confusion, and we'll go back and update our previous posts with the new link.

📣 In a few minutes @alex is diving into the

prefect-dbt

Hi @David G Cyr - PrefectLive is now dual streamed to both Twitch and YouTube. You can find recordings of past PrefectLive sessions in the PrefectLive playlist on our YouTube channel. This specific episode on dbt + Prefect is available .

My three favorite quotes from @alex’s livestream on prefect-dbt and blocks today: • “If you have an API call, it should be a task.” 💯 • “Use subflows to group like tasks together.” 💰 • “Blocks are like a password manager for your data stack.” ⭐
