Subtraction at the operational layer, deepening at the modeling layer. The local Postgres sidecar is gone, deploy and execute are ~2× faster, --full-refresh now works at workflow, entity, or attribute scope, and many-to-many relationships are correct and tested across PostgreSQL and BigQuery.- Published on
A practitioner methodology for going from "we need analytics" to a working prototype in hours. Five steps, three groups, one information model. Refined across insurance, automotive, telecom, streaming, and market research.- Published on
Why we built Daana CLI to reclaim lost data modeling knowledge and make proven architectural patterns accessible through modern declarative tooling.- Published on
Replace hand-written staging SQL with declarative YAML contracts. A generator reads contracts and produces consistent, type-safe SQL across all your source systems. The contract becomes the documentation, the schema definition, and the transformation logic - all in one artifact.
