#035: Why Data Teams Need Version Control

Mar 29, 2023

The 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.

So in this video, I’ll explain why your data team needs to be using Version Control so you can:

  1. Stop losing changes
  2. Release code faster
  3. Work better as a team

 

Enjoy!
