How to Make the Architectural Case for Dagster

The Orchestration Maturity Model is introduced as a framework to help organizations transition from job-centric to asset-centric orchestration, emphasizing the limitations of traditional job-based systems in addressing critical data dependencies, freshness, and usability. The model outlines different levels of maturity, with Level 3 marking a shift toward treating data as a first-class object, enabling organizations to better manage data assets and automate processes based on data state. Dagster is highlighted as a tool that facilitates this transition by shifting the focus from tasks to data flow, making dependencies explicit and integrating quality checks into the orchestration process. This shift not only addresses common failure modes in traditional systems but also empowers teams to manage data workflows more effectively, reducing reliance on central data teams and enabling self-service capabilities. The transition to an asset-centric system requires architectural changes that align with organizational goals, providing a roadmap for improving data platform maturity and unlocking new operational and organizational capabilities.
