How can you combine incremental models with partitioning to further reduce cost in dbt?

APartition data by user ID regardless of update patterns

BDisable partitioning to speed up incremental runs

CUse partitioning only with full-refresh models

DPartition data by date and filter incremental runs on partition column

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand partitioning benefits
Partitioning organizes data by a column (e.g., date) to speed up queries and reduce scanned data.
Step 2: Combine with incremental filtering
Filtering incremental runs on partition column limits data processed, saving time and cost.
Final Answer:
Partition data by date and filter incremental runs on partition column -> Option D
Quick Check:
Partition + incremental filter = less data processed [OK]

Quick Trick: Filter incremental runs on partitioned columns [OK]
