Case Study: Firefly Health builds a self-service data function with dbt Labs

Firefly Health - Customer Case Study

Firefly Health, a telehealth company, faced challenges in scaling its data operations as a one-person data team. Their previous data stack, which included Snowflake, Fivetran, and Looker, required tedious manual cleaning and ad-hoc testing, consuming too much time on low-leverage tasks. This made it difficult to ensure consistency, build trust in the data, and empower business users with self-service analytics.

By implementing dbt Cloud, Firefly Health gained a robust analytics engineering workflow. The solution provided reusable, modular code, built-in testing, and integrated documentation. This enabled the team to develop models 20x faster, create 15 new data models in two months (compared to 4 in the previous year), and serve over 50 business users. dbt Labs' product gave the team the ability to maintain high velocity without sacrificing reliability, fostering a culture of data trust across the organization.
