Snowplow dbt Web and Mobile 1.0.0 release!

Announcements New releases
1

We are excited to announce that we have just released version 1.0 of both the Web and Mobile dbt packages. This marks a significant point in the lifecycle of these packages as we mark them officially production ready and stable for your use. This is the 39th release of Web and the 22nd for Mobile as we have added more features, functionality, flexibility, and fixed a few bugs along the way. Each package has had many contributors along the way, some of who are no longer with Snowplow but their legacy lives on through these packages.

These packages efficiently process your Web or Mobile Snowplow tracking data into derived tables to enable rapid insight and analysis on your behavioural data. They are production ready, heavily tested, and plentifully documented.

With the move to version 1.0 we are freeing up our time to spend on other products and developments to deliver more insight and value faster and easier on your Snowplow data. Going forward Web and Mobile will only receive bug fixes, so for access to new features and models take a look at our Unified Digital package and our Data Models Pack.
