Data orchestration is a centralized utility that controls the execution and sequencing of interdependent operations, offering a single location for managing visibility and error handling. Data platform engineers can utilize data orchestration to manage complexity by integrating multiple technologies in their systems. The creator of Dagster, Nick Schrock, shares his perspective on the state of data orchestration technology and its application in various environments. He discusses the multi-faceted nature of data in an organization, highlighting the need for capabilities and interfaces tailored to that specific context. This centralized utility helps inform its implementation by providing a single location for managing complexity and visibility.
