Dagster 1.11 "Build Me Up Buttercup" introduces significant improvements to pipeline-building with new features like Components and the dg CLI, designed to enhance user experience and orchestration capabilities. Components, now stable, offer configurable and reusable building blocks in YAML or Python, allowing for effortless definition of Dagster assets and pipelines with minimal boilerplate. The dg CLI acts as an all-in-one command-line tool that supports code scaffolding, local development, and job execution while offering introspection and validation of definitions. The update also includes a streamlined create-dagster command for quick project setup, improved orchestration features such as partial retries and enhanced backfill policies, and expanded ecosystem integrations, including Fivetran, dbt Cloud, and Airflow. The release emphasizes collaboration with the community and design partners, offering acknowledgments to contributors and encouraging feedback through platforms like Slack and GitHub.
