Record timing info

The -r or --record-timing-info flag saves performance profiling information to a file. This file can be visualized with snakeviz to understand the performance characteristics of a dbt invocation.

Usage

$ dbt -r timing.txt run
...

$ snakeviz timing.txt

Alternatively, you can use py-spy to collect speedscope profiles of dbt commands like this:

python -m pip install py-spy
sudo py-spy record -s -f speedscope -- dbt parse
