Is it possible to use a Meltano to only to do
dbt run
or
dbt snapshot
and use airflow to track the status of that job? All the data I need as input is in Snowflake already. It seems like
meltano etl
wants a tap and target.

@myers You can use
meltano invoke dbt ...
to directly invoke dbt with whatever arguments you please: https://meltano.com/docs/command-line-interface.html#invoke
Out of curiosity, why use Meltano if you're not going to be extracting or loading data? 🙂

My company currently uses fivetran to sync a mysql database to snowflake, but we investigating what's possible using other tools and bringing in data from braintree and GA.

Ah, all right! Meltano should definitely be able to help out then. Let me know if I can help you figure anything out!

Thanks for your help
