dbt is offered through two interfaces: dbt Core and dbt Cloud.
dbt Core is an open-source library that implements most of the functionality of dbt. It has a command-line interface (the dbt command you will come to love) that you can use to manage data transformations in your projects.
dbt Cloud is an enterprise solution for teams. On top of the CLI, dbt Cloud also provides a more user-friendly web-based IDE. With it, you don’t have to worry about database connections and editing YAML files so much (as you will see in the coming sections).
dbt Cloud also offers additional features like job scheduling, advanced integrations and high priority support.
