← This weekCommunityData engineering & the warehouse/lakehouseDataformDataform is close to launching its branching and release process, which centers around a main branch as the default. Developers create pull requests (PRs) back to the main branch; a release branch is cut from main for each sprint, allowing for final tests and GitHub releases.
MyDataWork POV — The focus on a main branch-centric workflow is refreshing and practical for data teams. It promises a structured yet flexible approach to managing data transformations, particularly in fast-paced environments. By cutting release branches from the main for each sprint, teams can ensure stability without stalling development. This method acknowledges the collective effort and iterative improvement needed in enterprise data work. It's a nod to the reality that modern data infrastructure is a collaborative, evolving ecosystem rather than a static entity.
