Question 1

Is Datacoves open source?

Answer

While Datacoves is not open source, it is built on open components to which we also contribute. There is no vendor lock-in as customers can recreate what we have done, but trust us, this is not simple.

Question 2

Does my operating system have prerequisites?

Answer

Datacoves runs on modern browsers such as MS Edge and Google Chrome. No special requirements are needed on the user’s computer. This is what allows us to get new users up and running in minutes. Deliver insights and leave the infrastructure to us.

Question 3

What is Datacoves?

Answer

Datacoves is an enterprise DataOps platform with hosted VS Code for dbt development and Airflow. We enable you to implement data management best practices without compromising data security.

We provide an end-to-end solution that re-bundles the different tools needed to build data-driven insights. Out of the box we provide Airbyte for data extraction and loading, a familiar VS Code dbt-core development environment, Airflow for orchestrations, and Superset for visualization. Customers may opt out of certain components of the stack or use them in addition with other tools like Fivetran and Looker.

Question 4

How does code go from development to production?

Answer

Datacoves users follow standard dbt-core development standards. New features are created on a branch, they are then pushed to a git server like GitHub where they are tested. Once the change is approved, the branch is merged into the repo’s main branch. The main branch is picked up by Airflow and jobs run as scheduled.

Question 5

How is data processed by the Datacoves IDE?

Answer

When previewing queries in our IDE the resulting data passes through our infrastructure on the way to your browser, but we do not store it. Furthermore, by default, we limit query previews to 500 lines.

Question 6

Is Datacoves a dbt Cloud Alternative?

Answer

Yes, Datacoves is a powerful dbt Cloud alternative. Our managed dbt Core and Airflow platform, VS Code in the browser, and other tools are designed for a seamless end-to-end process that can have you gathering insights in no time. Our platform simplifies the dbt Core experience, bridging the gap between dbt Core and dbt Cloud while mitigating the challenges associated with a pure dbt Core setup.

Question 7

Does Datacoves work with dbtCloud?

Answer

Datacoves is an alternative to dbtCloud. Like dbtCloud we offer a development IDE for working with dbt-core. Additionally, we provide tools for loading, orchestrating, and visualizing data.
