Meet Tobiko Cloud: data transformation without the waste.
It's everything dbt™ wishes it was.
Tobiko Cloud is powered by SQLMesh to parse SQL and track column-level lineage. Instantly see the impact of your changes, and run only the updates you need.
See it in actionTools like dbt™ can help build your first pipelines, but are not designed to scale.
- Without state awareness, you rebuild your entire workflow after every change. This becomes more costly and time-consuming as you grow.
- Our competitors' tools rely on extensive commands. This avoidable complexity causes errors and dependency on tribal knowledge.
- With only a physical layer, your development environment inflates warehouse costs, risks deferral errors, or uses outdated production table clones.
Tobiko Cloud scales with your data — delivering visibility and control at any size.
- We automatically track SQL changes and run history, so you’ll update only impacted tables during development and production runs.
- Tobiko Cloud tracks intervals, code changes, and run history to build only what’s necessary, without error-prone commands.
- Instantly create an exact copy of production for development in Tobiko’s unique virtual data environment. Promote changes back in production at near-zero warehouse processing cost.
Smarter, more efficient transformations
Debug transformation errors before you run them in your warehouse.
Tobiko Cloud parses your SQL code in advance, so you can spot syntax and compile time issues in seconds… then fix them without waiting on the warehouse.
Create isolated development environments without data warehouse costs.
We track state and run history to create virtual data environments using views, so you'll see:
- An exact copy of production data for development
- True blue-green deployments promoting data back into production
- Near-zero warehouse processing costs
See what impacts your pipeline with column-level lineage.
Tobiko Cloud goes beyond a visual of column data flow — it instantly shows how your changes impact downstream columns and tables (both breaking and non-breaking).
Get state-aware architecture.
Unlike dbt™, which wastes resources processing everything, we track what data’s been modified and run only the necessary transformations — saving you time and money.

-
Do you support orchestration tools like Airflow and Dagster?
We'll begin supporting Airflow and Dagster in Q1 2025. Stay tuned for our announcement and other roadmap updates by joining our Slack community.
-
Do you support only cloud or also on-premise?
We provide three flexible options: cloud-only, metadata in the cloud with self-hosted runners, or fully on-premise. Contact us to find the setup the works best for your needs.
-
Does Tobiko Cloud need access to my data?
This will depend on your preferred setup:
- Cloud-only: Full data access is required
- Cloud with self-hosted runners: Only your SQL metadata access is needed; all warehouse operations stay in your environment.
- Fully on-premise: No data access is required.
-
Do I need dbt™ for Tobiko Cloud to work?
No, Tobiko Cloud is a standalone system. However, if you're already using dbt™, there's no need to redo any existing work. Tobiko Cloud is backwards-compatible with dbt™, so you can easily make the switch.
-
How is pricing structured?
Tobiko Cloud’s pricing consists of two components: a platform fee for access to all features and a pay-as-you-go fee for consumption.
Our pricing model does not limit the number of seats or projects. Contact our sales team to learn more and explore a pricing plan tailored to your needs.
