Summary

Vanta, a leader in trust management and compliance automation, adopted Dagster as their modern data orchestration platform to eliminate data bottlenecks. By doing so, they drastically reduced data delays, streamlined on-call operations, and significantly expanded self-service capabilities for developers, data engineers, and analysts. The adoption of Dagster enabled Vanta to achieve a unified programming model, central visibility, and the ability to integrate with their existing data stack while providing a foundation for future growth. This resulted in improved data freshness, reduced troubleshooting time, minimized escalations, and reduced time to new data sources and integrations. Additionally, Dagster empowered data analysts to independently manage most incidents during on-call shifts, decreasing off-hours escalations. The team also reported increased productivity and efficiency, with junior developers leading important initiatives and a significant reduction in spend and reliance on legacy tools. Vanta plans to expand the possibilities enabled by Dagster, including automated testing in CI, deeper integration with Sigma, and OpenAI.
