Release Notes

August 2026

Migrates the union_connections, apply_source_relation, and partition_by_source_relation macros to the dbt_fivetran_utils package.
Adds the fivetran_using_source_casing variable for case-sensitive destination support. When enabled, downstream transformations respect source casing to ensure consistent results. See the Additional Configurations section of the README for details.

Updates column descriptions for line_item_line_item_type and related fields to be more concise.
Updates README to remove badges and replace with plain-text dbt Core version compatibility.

Adds a persist_docs conditional to integration tests to enable relation and column documentation persistence, except for Databricks targets.

Updates the README and integration tests architecture to align with other packages

In the quickstart.yml file:
- Adds supported_vars for Quickstart UI customization.

Adjusts the data type of aws_cloud_cost_start_date in the quickstart.yml from string to date.

This is the initial release of the aws_cloud_cost dbt package!

This package models AWS Cloud Cost data from Fivetran's AWS Cost Report connector. It uses data in the format described by the AWS Cost & Usage Report.

The main focus of the package is to transform the core object tables into analytics-ready models, including:

Materializes AWS Cloud Cost staging tables which leverage data in the format described by the AWS Cost & Usage Report. These staging tables clean, test, and prepare your AWS Cloud Cost data from Fivetran's connector for analysis by doing the following:
- Names columns for consistency across all packages and for easier analysis:
  - Column names are shortened for convenience and to avoid redundancy.
- Takes the latest export of each account's billing month report.
Creates analytics-ready end models for monitoring and investigating cost & usage of different AWS services across your organizations.
Generates a comprehensive data dictionary of both your AWS Cloud Cost source and modeled data through the dbt docs site.

This package does not apply freshness tests.

The following table provides a detailed list of all models materialized within this package by default.

TIP: See more details about these models in the package's dbt docs site.
