Set up the Dagster project

To confirm everything works:

  1. Run dagster dev from the directory dagster_university/dagster_and_dbt.

  2. Navigate to the Dagster UI (http://localhost:3000) in your browser.

  3. Open the asset graph by clicking Catalog (or Assets in older versions) in the left sidebar, then click View global asset lineage. Confirm the asset graph you see matches the graph below.

  4. Let's confirm that you can materialize these assets by:

    1. Navigating to Overview > Jobs
    2. Clicking on the trip_update_job job and then Materialize all....
    3. When prompted to select a partition, materialize the most recent one (2023-03-01). It will start a run/backfill and your assets should materialize successfully.
