SQLMesh is a Python framework that makes writing and orchestrating SQL easier. All you have to do is write SQL and SQLMesh will figure out the rest. It can find dependencies automatically (no need for ref). It understands what has been done and what needs to be done (cron and version tracking). It even performs syntax checking and validations so you don't always have to send your queries to the warehouse. But I guess if you are truly five years old, it'd be something like. Your mommy and daddy help companies understand what's going on every day. When people buy things on the internet, computers get information. SQLMesh helps your mommy and daddy turn that information into numbers so that they can look at them in pretty pictures to make decisions.

@SQLMesh is so good it's banned from dbt's Coalesce conference. If you're interested in learning about what makes it amazing, I'll be in Vegas for the duration of the event. * Tired of unmaintainable Jinja? * Want free column level lineage? * Can't afford expensive full refreshes? * Incremental models becoming out of sync / needing repair? * Sick of waiting 10 minutes for your warehouse to tell you you're missing a parenthesis? Hit me up and we can grab a coffee to talk about how we fix some of the pain.

The wait is over! You can now use Athena with @SQLMesh. Both Iceberg and Hive are supported but we heavily recommend Iceberg since it's a way better experience. And if you're still stuck on dbt, don't worry, we also have support for the dbt-athena adapter so you can have a seamless migration! Like always, if you run into any issues, feel free to file an issue or let us know on Slack. We're abnormally responsive :)
