Summary

Dagster Cloud is a hosted service that extends the capabilities of open-source Dagster, simplifying deployment and helping organizations manage complexity. It reduces incidental complexity by offloading operations and allowing practitioners to focus on value-creating work. The cloud-based control plane eliminates concerns about infrastructure upgrades, database administration, scaling, uptime, and backwards compatibility. Zero-downtime deployments are made simple through straightforward APIs for containerized redeployments. Deployment previews, similar to Vercel's, enable collaborative development experiences by providing visual previews of pipelines attached to pull requests. The service is designed to scale easily and securely, with hosted services built on battle-tested components and a dedicated platform team ensuring reliability and continuous improvement. Dagster Cloud separates user code and data from the hosted control plane, allowing for hybrid architecture and easy deployment across an organization. It provides unparalleled context about data platforms, enabling stakeholders to understand the state of data and its origins without burdening teams or practitioners. The service includes enterprise auth and granular permissions, ensuring security and access control. Dagster Cloud aims to make data practitioners more productive than ever before, creating scalable, trustworthy, and collaborative data platforms.
