Sharing common, complex logic is a key reason for creating packages. Simple logic is better as macros. Project-specificity favors macros or CTEs. Packages arent ideal for access control.

Schema tests are a good first line of defense but don't replace the need for more nuanced checks that examine the data's actual content.

Packages excel at providing reusable macros and domain-specific model sets. Snapshots and adapters are usually independent of or extend the core dbt feature set.

A Some macros might require additional settings to be integrated correctly into the documentation. B- dbt expects descriptions in specific formats for DAG rendering. Your macro output needs to adhere to these. C: Caching can sometimes mask the latest changes in the documentation.

The -select flag limits the documentation generation to the specified model(s). However, for this to work smoothly, dependencies need to be considered. If the updated model depends on others, they might need to be included or recompiled for the docs to be correct.
