Summary One of the most challenging aspects of building a data platform has nothing to do with pipelines and transformations. If you are putting your workflows into production, then you need to consider how you are going to implement data security, including access controls and auditing. Different databases and storage systems all have their own method of restricting access, and they are not all compatible with each other.

What is any ? If you're working with TypeScript, chances are you'll work with the any type. any essentially turns off typechecking, and allows the corresponding variable to be used for anything. You can call any methods on an any variable, and they'll all return any as well. It's great when you can't write types for everything in your codebase. let obj : any = { x : 0 } ; // None of these lines of code are errors const foo : any = obj. foo ( ) ; obj ( ) ; obj. bar = 100
