In Rill .77, we added a dependency graph viewer that allows you to easily visualize the dependencies within a project to see how changes to a model could affect downstream metrics.
We also added the ability to generate test data using AI. This is super useful to get up & running in Rill Developer.

Code-first data tools were built for experts. Then AI made them accessible to everyone.
On the new episode of Data Talks on the Rocks, @medriscoll.com and dltHub's Matthaus Krzykowski break down the shift: LLMs are abstracting away complexity in data pipeline building, and the results are dramatic.

What makes this project from @ssp.sh worthwhile is the end result: a clear overview of your actual costs across clouds. Everything is made composable, meaning you can add extra extraction with dlt or query and visualize additional data with Rill without spinning up infrastructure.
