What is DataOps?

DataOps (Data Operations) is an automated and process-oriented data management practice. It enhances communication, integration, and data flow automation among data sources and consumers.

DataOps optimizes the development and execution of data pipelines by reducing the time it takes to build a data pipeline, accelerating building environments, generating high-quality datasets, and thus achieving reliable and predictable data delivery.
