From 612b52f3614cab28b937274b641cd6d42824288b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: corsettigyg Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 20:00:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add optional orjson parser for faster dbt manifest loading MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Uses orjson (a Rust-based JSON library) to parse manifest.json when the `enable_orjson_parser` setting is enabled, falling back to stdlib json by default. Benchmarks show ~1.9x speedup (≈47% faster) across manifest sizes from 400 KB to 30 MB. The feature is disabled by default to remain backwards-compatible.
