Best Operations Management Software for DQOps

Looker reinvents the way business intelligence (BI) works by delivering an entirely new kind of data discovery solution that modernizes BI in three important ways. A simplified web-based stack leverages our 100% in-database architecture, so customers can operate on big data and find the last mile of value in the new era of fast analytic databases. An agile development environment enables today’s data rockstars to model the data and create end-user experiences that make sense for each specific business, transforming data on the way out, rather than on the way in. At the same time, a self-service data-discovery experience works the way the web works, empowering business users to drill into and explore very large datasets without ever leaving the browser. As a result, Looker customers enjoy the power of traditional BI at the speed of the web.

Airflow is a community-created platform that allows programmatically to schedule, author, and monitor workflows. Airflow is modular in architecture and uses a message queue for managing a large number of workers. Airflow can scale to infinity. Airflow pipelines can be defined in Python to allow for dynamic pipeline generation. This allows you to write code that dynamically creates pipelines. You can easily define your own operators, and extend libraries to suit your environment. Airflow pipelines can be both explicit and lean. The Jinja templating engine is used to create parametrization in the core of Airflow pipelines. No more XML or command-line black-magic! You can use standard Python features to create your workflows. This includes date time formats for scheduling, loops to dynamically generate task tasks, and loops for scheduling. This allows you to be flexible when creating your workflows.
