dbt Mesh is a pattern inspired by dbt best practices and data mesh that leverages the advanced features of dbt Cloud on governance, access, versioning, and cross-project linking to interlace multiple dbt projects together. Each project in a dbt Mesh can have inputs and outputs from other projects that are treated like APIs so projects can communicate reliably in production and development. This pattern enables faster development, greater security, and more reliability by decoupling models that operate in separate groups.

A dbt project is considered meshified when it’s been built as a node in a <term id="dbt-mesh">dbt Mesh</term>. Typically this means it’s utilizing contracts, constraints, versioning, access, groups, and cross-project references to link reliably with other projects in its dbt Mesh. A meshified project typically has a smaller number of models than a monolithic project, which enables faster development and is more focused. Meshifying a project requires the advanced features of dbt Cloud that enable the mesh pattern.
