DataOps.live Develop becomes the default choice in app.dataops.live
DataOps.live Develop is a comprehensive tool for your development tasks and file editing needs. With Develop, you can perform all the tasks you used to do with WebIDE and much more.
What is changing?
The change itself is very minor, we are simply moving the default option from Web IDE to DataOps.live Develop. Both options will continue to be available to you. The change of the default option will be rolled out from the 6th April 2024.
Why are we making the change?
DataOps.live Develop, our browser-based development environment, has become the popular choice for data engineers using DataOps.live. While they can use it as a simple text editor (like Web IDE), the additional features that come with DataOps.live Develop are accelerating the way data engineers can build and test data products.
Some of the many reasons why data engineers prefer using Develop:
- Quick and easy way to edit multiple files in their projects
- Unified development environment – everyone in the team has the same infrastructure set-up (packages, extensions, tools) which eliminates the likelihood of something working only on an individual machine
- Test and develop data models without the need to run full pipelines providing feedback in seconds
- Get quick feedback when making changes to Snowflake infrastructure definition in SOLE
DataOps.live Develop
Summary of the features currently present in DataOps.live Develop:
- DataOps VS Code Extension with user interface support for SOLE compilation & validation
- dbt Power User extension to allow for quick feedback when doing model development. Here are a few hands-on scenarios for MATE development that showcase using the dbt power extension.
- Easy dbt version switching - supporting dbt versions 1.4, 1.5, and 1.7 in Develop.
- A series of pre-installed tools, including dataops CLI which helps you convert SQL to SOLE syntax directly in Develop.
- Support for Streamlit and Snowpark development
- GitLab workflow extension to manage your merge requests and to allow you to run a pipeline straight from Develop.
- Assist features for additional Gen AI assistance and guidance during development
Still want to use Web IDE?
If you still want to use the Web IDE over DataOps.live Develop, you can select this from your project. If you have already opened DataOps.live Develop you can simply close the tab or window this is opened in.
