Before Datacoves, we were juggling multiple tools to manage dbt and orchestration — some hosted, some open source — and it created unnecessary complexity, especially as our team scaled and adopted multiple dbt projects. We knew we wanted the flexibility of dbt Core and Airflow, but building and maintaining that ourselves was complex. Datacoves helped us streamline everything. They provided guidance on how to simplify our project structure, consolidate projects, and set up best practices that would’ve taken us longer to figure out on our own. Now, every developer on our team has a consistent, ready-to-go workspace with dbt, Python, Git, and Airflow — all accessible through a browser-based VS Code. No local setup struggles, no flaky, and no confusion about where things run. Their shared and user specific Airflow instances have been especially valuable. With separate dev and team environments, integrated Git syncing, and managed secrets, we’ve gained reliability without giving up flexibility. Datacoves gave us the best of open source, with none of the overhead. And their team is genuinely helpful, they feel like an extension of our own.

Datacoves added copilot and model lineage right in vs code

Their customer support is really open to improvements. I was contacted and I was able to discuss about the Grafana Dashboards that might be available in future releases.
