I am Engineering Manager @Decathlon since 2023, I lead the Analytics Engineers in advancing their skills and in the group's Analytics architecture. My work for the past year has revolved around core datamarts, the dbt Metric Layer connected to Tableau, and metric trees at the end of the chain.

Une stack légère pour suivre la standardisation de l'Analytics à l'échelle : dbt + duckdb + Observable Framework
At Decathlon, we went from a centralized to decentralized Analytics organization in a business domain this year. However, last year we had the ambition to reduce the number of DBT repositories on our Github from 250 to 15 repositories (1 per domain), in order to allow for simpler governance and to be able to converge DBT architectures.
To continue our standardization work at scale and monitor the evolution of its 15 repositories, we have chosen to apply DORA metrics on each of the repositories.We have developed an analytics stack that is fully embedded in Github.
We use:
- Duckdb as an execution engine, which recently supports table reading
- DeltaDBT-DuckDB to orchestrate modeling
- Observable Framework for building a dataviz application, deployed statically on Github Pages
