Python-based dbt alternative

Serra offers a Python-based ETL framework that replaces a 200-line SQL script with a few lines of Python, emphasizing readability, testability, modularity, and reusability. It targets data engineers and aims to simplify complex pipelines with a DBT-like alternative that supports testing, debugging, and running pipelines against data warehouses.
