PyPIInfrastructure

dbt-costgate is a tool that integrates with dbt to provide cost estimation gates for BigQuery projects. It dry-runs only the models changed in a pull request, calculates the byte difference, and estimates the potential cost impact before merging. This helps analytics engineering teams practice FinOps by preventing expensive model changes from reaching production. It is distributed as a PyPI package and open-source under Apache-2.0.
