How GitLab Duo Agent Platform transforms DataOps

What this post added

This post details the practical application of the GitLab Duo Agent Platform for automating the generation of dbt models. It outlines the process of extracting metadata from Snowflake, using the VS Code plugin for GitLab Duo, and crafting a prompt to generate dbt models for the Reddit Ads dataset. The contribution includes sample generated SQL for source and workspace models, schema.yml, and sources.yml, as well as a validation query for comparing row counts between raw and workspace layers. It also highlights the integration with the GitLab dbt style guide and the potential for future direct integration with data platforms via Model Context Protocol (MCP).
