Dagster asset materializations sometimes "hang" - effectively never finishing. · Issue #25306 · dagster-io/dagstergithub.com

dbtSymptoms of this issue are visible in dbt metrics and logs

How to detect:

After upgrading from Dagster 1.8.10 to 1.8.11, dbt assets take hours to complete despite data landing successfully in the database. Dagster continues to show the asset as materializing. Issue appeared 2 days after upgrade and became nearly constant. Assets with unchanged definitions suddenly exhibit this behavior.

Recommended action:

Upgrade to Dagster 1.8.12 which resolved the issue for affected users. Monitor dbt asset materialization durations closely after any Dagster version upgrade, especially watching for regressions 24-48 hours post-upgrade when workload patterns may differ.
