Join us on April 1st for a deep dive into how Lee Littlejohn built a data platform at US Foods with Dagster!
Lee applies kitchen principles to data: minimizing action, reusing components, and creating a single source of truth.

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.
