#035: Why Data Teams Need Version Control
Mar 29, 2023The fastest route to problems as a data team is going straight to Production.
It feels easy in the short-term, but becomes a mess in the long-term.
And I'm certainly not above doing this in the past.
For years I worked on teams where a saved query meant updating Production.
Or even better...the drawn out and terribly boring release nights just to fix a small bug.
But it’s shocking how many teams still do this today when Version Control platforms offer a clear better way.
