Engineering insights

Practical guidance grounded in inspectable work.

These notes explain engineering decisions, review questions, and operating practices Dagitali uses in its own projects. They are educational material, not client case studies or guarantees that one approach fits every system.

Current notes

Start with the system beneath the outcome.

Data engineering

What makes a data pipeline operable?

A reliable pipeline needs explicit expectations, visible failures, repeatable recovery, and operating knowledge—not only transformation code.

Analytics engineering

What should a useful dbt model review examine?

Review model purpose, grain, dependencies, tests, documentation, materialization, and operating consequences as one connected system.

Cloud & delivery

Why use private S3, CloudFront, and GitHub OIDC?

A small static site can remain inexpensive while keeping its origin private, delivery repeatable, and deployment credentials short-lived.

Publication standard

Evidence and limitations travel with the advice.

Insights distinguish general engineering guidance from behavior demonstrated by a specific Dagitali project. Dates make revisions visible, and links lead to public evidence when it exists.
