Dagster

Dagster is a system for building modern data applications.

Elegant programming model: Dagster provides a set of abstractions for building self-describing, testable, and reliable data applications. It embraces the principles of functional data programming; gradual, optional typing; and testability as a first-class value.

Flexible & incremental: Dagster integrates with your existing tools and systems, and can invoke any computation–whether it be Spark, Python, a Jupyter notebook, or SQL. It is also designed to work with your existing systems like Kubernetes.

Beautiful tools: Dagster's development environment, dagit, is designed to facilitate local development for data engineers, machine learning engineers, and data scientists. It also can be run as a production service, to support operating, debugging, and maintaining large-scale production data pipelines.

Getting Started

Installation

pip install dagster dagit

This installs two modules:

• Dagster: the core programming model and abstraction stack; stateless, single-node, single-process and multi-process execution engines; and a CLI tool for driving those engines.
• Dagit: the UI for developing and operating Dagster pipelines, including a DAG browser, a type-aware config editor, and a live execution interface.

Hello dagster 👋

hello_dagster.py

from dagster import execute_pipeline, pipeline, solid


@solid
def get_name(_):
    return 'dagster'


@solid
def hello(context, name: str):
    context.log.info('Hello, {name}!'.format(name=name))


@pipeline
def hello_pipeline():
    hello(get_name())

Save the code above in a file named hello_dagster.py. You can execute the pipeline using any one of the following methods:

(1) Dagster Python API

if __name__ == "__main__":
    execute_pipeline(hello_pipeline)   # Hello, dagster!

(2) Dagster CLI

$ dagster pipeline execute -f hello_dagster.py

(3) Dagit web UI

$ dagit -f hello_dagster.py
