The six categories of context in this post are not just documentation—they are infrastructure. This layer sits between your data and your AI, transforming schemas into meaning, tables into business concepts, and raw query results into answers your analysts can trust.
DataOps + FITT + Data Testing = 10x Data Engineering Productivity with AI
AI coding tools like Claude Code are generating significant excitement in software engineering. But for data engineers, getting 10 times the productivity isn’t automatic. Just adding an AI agent to a messy pipeline and hoping it works usually leads to failure.
FITT vs. Fragile: SQL & Orchestration Techniques For FITT Data Architectures
Transform data engineering from a high-stress, “hero saves the day” kind of job into something systematic and predictable that actually scales as your team and business grow. Stop babysitting pipelines: SQL & ELT the FITT Way.
We’ve Been Using FITT Data Architecture For Many Years, And Honestly, We Can Never Go Back
Most data architectures are designed to maximize data vendor revenues, not data team productivity. Let us show you how a Functional, Idempotent, Tested, Two-Stage (FITT) data architecture can deliver better productivity, reliability, and happiness.

Orchestrating StreamSets with the DataKitchen DataOps Platform
The cacophony of tools and mission-critical deliverables are the reason behind the high complexity of modern-day data organizations. Data groups include a wide range of roles and functions that are intricately woven together by their “Data”. Teams include data...
DataOps is Not Just a DAG for Data
We often hear people say that DataOps is just automating the data pipeline — using orchestration to execute directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). Enterprises may already use orchestration tools (Airflow, Control-M, etc.) and mistakenly conclude that they have DataOps...
