Quick scan of dbt metrics - looks like it lets you define a flat, single view of a metric with a predefined set of “filters” (Ie sql predicates). Also it only allows a metric to come from a single table; “joins” are a TODO.
It is missing the runtime engine to “interpret” the semantic model and so arbitrary but correct joins among tables and generate the appropriate SQl to realize those arbitrary joins.
If anyone know dbt better and also knows semantic models, please correct.
