Actually, that’s a trick question. Why? Well, we can liken the Data Observability vs. DataOps relationship to Beyonce (there’s a sentence I never expected to write!). Just as every Beyonce song is a hit, but not every hit song is by Beyonce, data observability is one key component of DataOps, but DataOps is more than just data observability. So, the more apt question(s) may actually be: How does data observability fit into DataOps?

Is a materialized view a view or a table? Should you distinguish between tables and external tables? And what about wildcard tables? These questions just scratch the surface of the painful delightfully complex world of data engineering.
