DataOps.live released an update to the DataOps.live platform, delivering productivity for data teams.

Thomas Steinborn, DataOps.live VP of Products, said: "The Spring '23 Release is centered around enhancing data pipelines and accelerating the pace of delivery for Data Teams and the Data Products demanded by data-driven organizations."
The release includes enhancements around three themes - Unified Developer Experience, Pipeline Orchestration, and Enterprise Security and Regulatory Compliance.

- Unified Developer Experience –This release includes an easy-to-use, zero-install DataOps Development Environment (DDE) spanning local, remote, and cloud environments with a shared image. This eliminates any worries about packages and dependencies – developers are immediately productive. DataOps.live have doubled down on the developer experience by introducing new capabilities for environment separation and pre-apply validation of your data warehouse configuration changes. Environment separation protects teams from deploying non-production-ready code to production. At the same time, the user-friendly plan report makes it easy to understand proposed configuration changes before they are applied.

- Pipeline Orchestration – Managing and operating data pipelines mean greater flexibility and agility without sacrificing governance - a vital benefit of the DataOps.live platform. The release includes support for crucial grant management features in the data warehouse, including future grants and grants "with grant option" to allow the recipient of grant-to-grant privileges to other users. This allows the defined assignment of a grant - critical in a decentralized, delegated design pattern such as Data Mesh. DataOps.live is also excited to announce new orchestrators for Collibra, the Data Intelligence company, VaultSpeed, and Informatica Cloud. The Collibra orchestrator helps joint customers understand data distribution, schema, and lineage – accelerating the build, test, and deployment of data pipelines faster, with greater confidence and unifying their metadata to make better business decisions. With the new VaultSpeed orchestrator – as users configure and operate data vault models –an automated DataOps.live pipeline takes the design and applies the VaultSpeed data vault 2.0 specification quickly and easily. This new orchestrator brings data vault designs to life – making such specifications a reality in your data warehouse. With the Informatica Cloud orchestrator, you can orchestrate all your ETL/ELT taskflows. For a list of all the orchestrators, refer to the DataOps.live Developer Hub.

- Enterprise Security & Regulatory Compliance – Effective Secrets Management can mean the difference between regulatory compliance and challenges with security issues. Secret Selection per environment is all about advancing the DataOps developer experience – removing a failure point – making it virtually impossible to promote an unintended production change inadvertently. This prevents the accidental deployment of code to the wrong environment – a significant benefit for enterprise security management. We've added a flexible custom Secret Manager that allows you to plug and play with any existing standard Secret Encryption models and includes an additional layer of security by masking secret details in log views.

These new capabilities enable clients to decrease the time to value and accelerate release productivity for Data Products and Data Applications.
