Otto's data teams were stuck. Some drowning in endless Argo YAML configurations, others testing directly in production. When your data platform fights against good practices, your teams waste time on operational overhead instead of building value. dagster.io/blog/otto-ca...

We understand that your data platform is highly contextual, and you need a tool to accommodate this. Components provide a low-code YAML interface for your users, backed by tools that support software engineering best practices and give platform teams complete control. lp.dagster.io/components
