The request names dbt, so dbt (dbt Labs) comes first: it builds modular, tested, version-controlled data pipelines in SQL 1. For protocol buffers work, the request's dbt-protos most plausibly refers to Protocol Buffers, which defines structured data serialization across languages 6, with gRPC for RPC services built on it 3 and msgspec as a fast serialization library 9.

A question back: Do you mean dbt the data transformation tool, or Protocol Buffers (protos) for serializing structured data? And which language or platform will the protos be used with?
