In August 2025, R. Chesne developed a Change History feature for BigQuery models in the dbt-labs/dbt-adapters repository, introducing an enable_change_history option for incremental and table models while ensuring it was not applicable to views. Chesne implemented the adapter logic using Python and SQL, integrating the new option into existing BigQuery workflows. Functional tests were created and executed to validate the feature’s behavior and prevent regressions. This work enhanced data governance and auditing by allowing users to track and revert changes more reliably, addressing production risk and improving rollback capabilities for teams leveraging dbt and BigQuery in their data engineering pipelines.
