## Two ways to build transformations

- **SQL Model Automation:** build and schedule SQL transformations where your data already flows. Execute models in near real time, with support for joins, aggregates, and all query capabilities of your destination, to deliver reliable, ready-to-use datasets with less manual effort.
- **Hevo Transformers (dbt Core integrated):** native orchestration with complete visibility into lineage and tests. Trigger jobs after load or on flexible schedules, and deploy and scale dbt Core projects without extra infrastructure.
