DBT is taking too much time to upload large size seed data(3GB) to datawarehouse


I am trying to load seed file to data warehouse. But it took 67 minutes to load,what can we do to decrease the this time.
My file size is 3gb.

I’ve seen a rule of thumb here somewhere that said if a seed is more than one or a couple MB it should not be a seed.

Seeds should not be used to load raw data (for example, large CSV exports from a production database).

Since seeds are version controlled, they are best suited to files that contain business-specific logic, for example a list of country codes or user IDs of employees.

Loading CSVs using dbt’s seed functionality is not performant for large files. Consider using a different tool to load these CSVs into your data warehouse.
