Thank you so much for sharing, super helpful!

Great take on the SQL lock in, that's something that I need to think hard about. Ideally a git integration maybe?

Kavla also traverses the DAG, psuedo code:

  deps = getDeps() // recursive

  for dep in deps:
    if dep is query:
      run: "CREAT OR REPLACE VIEW {upstream} AS {upstream.text}
    if dep is source:
      done

A selected chain of Kavla nodes could probably be turned into a single dbt model using CTEs!

Thanks for making me think about this!
