Transformations

Weld gives you two powerful ways to handle transformations:

1. Weld Transform — build and schedule models directly in Weld with the SQL editor.
2. Third-party orchestration — plug in dbt/dbt Core or your BI/warehouse tools while Weld handles ingestion and activation.

This topic now has its own dedicated section in the documentation.
👉 Head over to the Transformations docs for detailed guides, integrations, and comparisons.
