April 2023 product docs updates
Hello from the dbt Docs team: @mirnawong1, @matthewshaver, @nghi-ly, and @runleonarun! We want to share some highlights introduced to docs.getdbt.com in the last month:
đ Discoverabilityâ
- API docs now live in the left sidebar to improve discoverability.
- The deploy dbt jobs sidebar has had a glow up đ  that splits the âabout deploymentâ into two paths (deploy w dbt cloud and deploy w other tools), adds more info about the dbt cloud scheduler, its features, and how to create a job, adds ADF deployment guidance. We hope the changes improve the user experience and provide users with guidance when deploying with other tools.
â Cloud projectsâ
- Added Starburst/Trino adapter docs, including:
- Enhanced dbt Cloud jobs page and section to include conceptual info on the queue time, improvements made around it, and about failed jobs.
- Check out the April dbt Cloud release notes
đŻÂ Core projectsâ
