dbt - Performance Optimization

If you run dbt with --threads 4 and have 6 models all independent of each other, how many models will dbt run concurrently?

A1 model

B6 models

C2 models

D4 models

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand thread limit
The --threads option limits the number of models running simultaneously.
Step 2: Consider model independence
Since all 6 models have no dependencies, they can run in parallel up to the thread limit.
Final Answer:
4 models -> Option D
Quick Check:
Threads limit concurrency, so max 4 run at once. [OK]

Quick Trick: Max concurrent models equals thread count [OK]
