Summary

Now that we have our DataOps principles and understand how they work in the three pillars of People, Delivery, and Confidence, we learned the specifics of building a data pipeline with Alteryx and how to implement these principles.

The following section looked at the different processes for accessing data sources on the basis of the DataOps framework. Then, we learned how to transform those datasets with Alteryx and publish them in other storage locations. And finally, we used Alteryx to build reports and visualizations in value extraction processes.

In the next chapter, we will start by accessing internal data sources, whether those data sources are files or database connections. We will then look at how we can access external data sources, either open public or private secured data sources. Then we will look at some of the initial processes for making sure our sourced data is in a raw format for us to use.
