dbt multi-project collaboration

Christophe Blefari

cross-project dependencies ( credits ) Over the last few years, dbt has become a de facto standard enabling companies to collaborate easily on data transformations. With dbt, you can apply software engineering practices to SQL development. Managing your SQL patrimony has never been easier. So, yes, dbt is cool but there is a common pattern with it: you accumulate SQL queries.

How to use the BranchPythonOperator

Marc Lamberti

Are you looking for a way to choose one task or another? Do you want to execute a task based on a condition? Do you have multiple tasks, but only one should be executed if a criterion is valid? You’ve come to the right place! The BranchPythonOperator does precisely what you are looking for. It’s common to have DAGs with different execution flows, and you want to follow only one, depending on a value or a condition.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them

Speaker: Scott Sehlhorst

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

Airflow Sensors: What you need to know

Marc Lamberti

Airflow Sensors are one of the most common tasks in data pipelines. Why? Because a Sensor waits for a condition to be true to complete. Do you need to wait for a file? Check if an SQL entry exists? Delay the execution of a DAG? That’s the few possibilities of the Airflow Sensors. If you want to make complex and robust data pipelines, you have to understand how Sensors work genuinely.
