Data consumers, such as data analysts, and business users, care mostly about the production of data assets. On the other hand, data engineers have historically focused on modeling the dependencies between tasks (instead of data assets) with an orchestrator tool. How can we reconcile both worlds? This article reviews open-source data orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster) and discusses how data orchestration tools introduce data assets as first-class objects.

Summary Metadata is the lifeblood of your data platform, providing information about what is happening in your systems. A variety of platforms have been developed to capture and analyze that information to great effect, but they are inherently limited in their utility due to their nature as storage systems. In order to level up their value a new trend of active metadata is being implemented, allowing use cases like keeping BI reports up to date, auto-scaling your warehouses, and automated data g

Scrum is a framework for developing complicated products under the Agile product development umbrella. The term scrum is also used during a sprint to describe the daily standup sessions. A sprint is one iteration of a continuous development cycle that is timed. During a Sprint, the team must complete a set amount of work and prepare it for review. Sprints are the smallest and most reliable time intervals used by scrum teams.

The distinction between hashing and encryption is that hashing refers to converting permanent data into message digests, but encryption operates in two ways: decoding and encoding the data. Hashing serves to maintain the information’s integrity, while md5 encryption and decryption are used to keep data out of the hands of third parties. Encryption and Hashing difference appears to be indistinguishable, yet they are not.
