They're using it for data transformation.They're long time dbt users, but are switching to SQLMesh because it's extremely efficient, provides a better development experience, and can help them become warehouse agnostic.

There are many teams using SQLMesh in production. Fivetran, Harness, Hopper, Pitchbook to name a few.

You can read some case studies here https://tobikodata.com/harness.html or join Slack to meet with folks to learn more about their experiences.

Thanks! Yes, it's a much requested feature but it's difficult to get right!

Why is this faster than the stdlib? What does it do to achieve better performance?

There's a lot of hype with ruff, but I've been doing fine with black and autoflake. I have a pretty sizeable project and have never thought to myself it's problematic because it's slow.

This is a garbage/sensationalist/click bait article. They source blind conversations.

Monorepos at scale only really works if you have the tooling and infra to support it. Otherwise, you're going to be miserable with slow builds, pushes, pulls, impossible merge conflicts.
