Use SQL or Python in one workspace with version control.
Image
Unified metadata across ingest, transforms, orchestration, and observability
Image
Event-driven automation for smarter triggering, retries, and backfills
Image
Context-aware alerting that tells you what broke and why, not just that something broke.
