It acts as the bridge between dbt's transformation framework and Athena's query engine, handling the translation of dbt models into Athena queries and managing the resulting tables and metadata.\n\nThe adapter supports the full range of dbt model types\u2014tables, views, incremental models, snapshots, and Python models\u2014with specific optimizations for Athena's architecture. It works with both Hive and Iceberg table formats (Iceberg requires Athena Engine v3), integrates with AWS Glue for metadata management, and supports Lake Formation for access control. Configuration is managed through dbt profiles, with options for S3 staging directories, workgroups, retry policies, and seed data handling.","worth_installing":"Yes. The adapter is production-stable, actively maintained, and has no known vulnerabilities. It's the standard way to run dbt against Athena and supports modern Python versions. Install it if you're building dbt workflows on AWS Athena; the low dependency footprint and permissive license make adoption straightforward. Requires AWS credentials and an existing Athena database setup."},"id":"dbt-athena-community","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbt-athena-community","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbt-athena-community.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dbt-athena-community/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dbt-athena-community","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The athena adapter plugin for dbt (data build tool)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":827278,"position":4958,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.11.0"}
