Otto's data teams were stuck. Some drowning in endless Argo YAML configurations, others testing directly in production.

When your data platform fights against good practices, your teams waste time on operational overhead instead of building value.

🚀 Want to preview the brand new `dg` cli, and a framework for building and working with YAML DSLs built on top of Dagster called "Components"?

You can find a link to demo videos and a GitHub discussion in the thread!

Join us on April 1st for a deep dive into how Lee Littlejohn built a data platform at US Foods with Dagster!

Lee applies kitchen principles to data: minimizing action, reusing components, and creating a single source of truth.

We're pleased to announce that Dagster has officially earned Snowflake Technology Industry Competency status. This milestone validates our position as a critical component in modern data ecosystems!

Hear from our Community!

Emil Sundman is a Data Engineer at Bizware and an experienced data professional across the entire data stack.

Thanks Emil!

We understand that your data platform is highly contextual, and you need a tool to accommodate this. Components provide a low-code YAML interface for your users, backed by tools that support software engineering best practices and give platform teams complete control.

AIs have a tough time using JSON structure because that data structure isnt ensouled

The teacher always said I was good with shapes and colors. That's how I ended up in data

What ever happened to data?

In times like these I like to take solace in Data Engineering

I just found what I was looking for on StackOverflow

Concerning

Your data pipelines will not be ensouled unless you add metadata

I need to learn the history

Companies should do WWE style promos to hype people for product launches

The new Dagster docs experience is here, complete with dark mode!

This makes it easier than ever to get started with Dagster. Our focus was on creating a more user-friendly docs structure to ensure that all of the information you need is available within just a few clicks https://buff.ly/4awa90j

I was there when John Dagster wrote the first DAG

Waiting for the build to finish

Yeah, my 10 month old has slowed progress haha! evidence is really cool from a composability perspective. The next one will be around using dbt and Dagster
