Agile Data N’ Info

Join Shane Gibson and Nigel Vining as they describe and discuss the AgileData Engineering Pattern of Automated Load Patterns based on Source Data Profiles.   The Automated Load Patterns based on Source Data Profiles pattern automatically profiles incoming data to determine its optimal loading method. It classifies data as either event data (immutable, append-only) or change data (evolving records) by analysing characteristics like unique key volume and column names over time. This automated classification then dictates the load strategy: an efficient partition replace for event data or a cost-effective upsert (end-dating historical records) for change data. This capability removes the manual burden and accelerates data onboarding, providing a trustworthy and efficient process even when the data type is initially unknown.   An AgileData Engineering Pattern is a repeatable, proven approach for solving a common data engineering challenge in a simple, consistent, and scalable way, designed to reduce rework, speed up delivery, and embed quality by default.   If you want a copy of the pattern template head over to: https://agiledata.substack.com/i/168912285/pattern-name Discover more  AgileData Engineering Patterns over at https://agiledata.substack.com/s/agiledata-engineering-patterns     If you just want to talk about making magic happen with agile and data you can connect with Shane @shagility on LinkedIn.   Subscribe: Apple Podcast | Spotify | Google Podcast  | Amazon Audible | TuneIn | iHeartRadio | PlayerFM | Listen Notes | Podchaser |  Deezer | Podcast Addict |  Buy the Green Book now!   Simply Magical Data Ways of Working

Join Shane Gibson and Nigel Vining as they describe and discuss the AgileData Engineering Pattern of Trust Rules to validate data.   The Trust Rules pattern provides automated data validation to ensure all incoming data is fit for purpose and trustworthy. It bakes in essential checks such as unique business keys and business effective dates, which run automatically upon data load or table refresh. Users can also define custom validation rules for specific columns. Results are collected, persisted, and surfaced via applications or alerts, with the system optimising validation for cost and speed through smart partitioning and clustered columns.   An AgileData Engineering Pattern is a repeatable, proven approach for solving a common data engineering challenge in a simple, consistent, and scalable way, designed to reduce rework, speed up delivery, and embed quality by default.   If you want a copy of the pattern template head over to: https://agiledata.substack.com/i/167964917/pattern-name Discover more  AgileData Engineering Patterns over at https://agiledata.substack.com/s/agiledata-engineering-patterns     If you just want to talk about making magic happen with agile and data you can connect with Shane @shagility on LinkedIn.   Subscribe: Apple Podcast | Spotify | Google Podcast  | Amazon Audible | TuneIn | iHeartRadio | PlayerFM | Listen Notes | Podchaser |  Deezer | Podcast Addict |  Buy the Green Book now!   Simply Magical Data Ways of Working

Join Shane Gibson and Nigel Vining as they describe and discuss the AgileData Engineering Pattern of Unioning two or more tables together automatically.   The Automated Table Unioning pattern automatically combines two or more tables by intelligently looking up column names and data types to generate safe SQL under the covers. It supports disparate data sources, such as those from multiple publishers in a data clean room, and creates a view or incrementally loads the unified data into a physical table while tracking load watermarks to prevent duplicates.   An AgileData Engineering Pattern is a repeatable, proven approach for solving a common data engineering challenge in a simple, consistent, and scalable way, designed to reduce rework, speed up delivery, and embed quality by default.     If you just want to talk about making magic happen with agile and data you can connect with Shane @shagility on LinkedIn.   Subscribe: Apple Podcast | Spotify | Google Podcast  | Amazon Audible | TuneIn | iHeartRadio | PlayerFM | Listen Notes | Podchaser |  Deezer | Podcast Addict |  Buy the Green Book now!   Simply Magical Data Ways of Working

Join Shane Gibson and Nigel Vining as they describe and discuss the AgileData Engineering Pattern of Orchestrating Dynamic Data Flows. The Dynamic Data Flow Orchestration pattern dynamically generates and self-heals data flow manifests (DAGs) at runtime from a central context database, enabling adaptive, cost-effective, and low-latency data processing primarily for micro-batching workloads An AgileData Engineering Pattern is a repeatable, proven approach for solving a common data engineering challenge in a simple, consistent, and scalable way, designed to reduce rework, speed up delivery, and embed quality by default.   If you want a copy of the pattern template head over to: https://agiledata.substack.com/i/167144707/pattern-name Discover more  AgileData Engineering Patterns over at https://agiledata.substack.com/s/agiledata-engineering-patterns     If you just want to talk about making magic happen with agile and data you can connect with Shane @shagility on LinkedIn.   Subscribe: Apple Podcast | Spotify | Google Podcast  | Amazon Audible | TuneIn | iHeartRadio | PlayerFM | Listen Notes | Podchaser |  Deezer | Podcast Addict |  Buy the Green Book now!   Simply Magical Data Ways of Working
