The cloud component is probably sticky if you have come to rely on those parts.

I'm wondering too. We run dbt on-prem. Worst that could happen is we don't get any more free updates. But we have the software and it will continue to run.

    the concern is that dbt-core will become stagnant.

      It basically already has since they started developing dbt Fusion, so in that respect this probably doesn’t change much.

      I expect they’ll keep developing Fusion but possibly as even more of a commercial-only offering than it already was.

      What's the problem specifically? Are you banking on some future features? Can't fix the bugs yourself? Worried it won't be compatible with future data warehouses?

      I know people don't like it these days, but you can just continue to run old software.

        dbt in particular is effectively useless without maintained and up-to-date connectors to your particular database.
