- config.yaml: remove ambiguousorinvalidcolumn linter rule (false positives on read_csv TVFs) - fct_cot_positioning: use TRY_CAST throughout — CFTC uses '.' as null in many columns - raw/cot_disaggregated: add columns() declaration for 33 varchar cols - dim_commodity: switch from SEED to FULL model with SQL VALUES to preserve leading zeros Pandas auto-converts '083' → 83 even with varchar column declarations in SEED models - seeds/dim_commodity.csv: correct cftc_commodity_code from '083731' (contract market code) to '083' (3-digit CFTC commodity code); add CSV quoting - test_cot_foundation.yaml: fix output key name, vars for time range, partial: true, and correct cftc_commodity_code to '083' - analytics.py: COFFEE_CFTC_CODE '083731' → '083' to match actual data Result: serving.cot_positioning has 685 rows (2013-01-08 to 2026-02-17), 23/23 tests pass.

Materia SQLMesh Transform Layer
Data transformation pipeline using SQLMesh and DuckDB, implementing a 4-layer architecture.
Quick Start
cd transform/sqlmesh_materia
# Local development (virtual environment)
sqlmesh plan dev_<username>
# Production
sqlmesh plan prod
# Run tests
sqlmesh test
# Format SQL
sqlmesh format
Architecture
Gateway Configuration
Single Gateway: All environments connect to Cloudflare R2 Data Catalog (Apache Iceberg)
- Production:
sqlmesh plan prod - Development:
sqlmesh plan dev_<username>(isolated virtual environment)
SQLMesh manages environment isolation automatically - no need for separate local databases.
4-Layer Data Model
See models/README.md for detailed architecture documentation:
- Raw - Immutable source data
- Staging - Schema, types, basic cleansing
- Cleaned - Business logic, integration
- Serving - Analytics-ready (facts, dimensions, aggregates)
Configuration
Config: config.yaml
- DuckDB in-memory with R2 Iceberg catalog
- Extensions: httpfs, iceberg
- Auto-apply enabled (no prompts)
- Initialization hooks for R2 secret/catalog attachment
Commands
# Plan changes for dev environment
sqlmesh plan dev_yourname
# Plan changes for prod
sqlmesh plan prod
# Run tests
sqlmesh test
# Validate models
sqlmesh validate
# Run audits
sqlmesh audit
# Format SQL files
sqlmesh format
# Start web UI
sqlmesh ui
Environment Variables (Prod)
Required for production R2 Iceberg catalog:
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN- R2 API tokenICEBERG_REST_URI- R2 catalog REST endpointR2_WAREHOUSE_NAME- Warehouse name (default: "materia")
These are injected via Pulumi ESC (beanflows/prod) on the supervisor instance.
Development Workflow
- Make changes to models in
models/ - Test locally:
sqlmesh test - Plan changes:
sqlmesh plan dev_yourname - Review and apply changes
- Commit and push to trigger CI/CD
SQLMesh will handle environment isolation, table versioning, and incremental updates automatically.
