Debugging Functions

Welcome to SDF

We're glad to see you here. Today we're going to install SDF and create a hello world project. Let's get started.

Getting Started

SDF is a static analysis tool for data warehouses written in Rust. No JVM required

Installation

SDF is a work in progress. The data ecosystem contains many tools, databases, and more to integrate with.

Features Matrix

SDF offers a rich open source library ecosystem, as well as open source components that power the SDF CLI and platform.

Open Source

Explore SDF's series of tutorials and get to know our tool a little better. 

Overview

Creating a model

The part we like the least, yet spend the most time on. SDF is here to help!

Debugging

Deprecating a model

SDF Cloud is an integrated, auto-generated data catalog with integrated column level lineage, data classification, and more.

Billing

CLI Authentication

Cloud Deployment

SDF supports signing in with Single Sign-On (SSO) providers through the OAuth2 and OpenID Connect protocols.

In this document, we're going to discuss a critical part of the SDF ecosystem - the workspace.

Workspaces

Integrations are the fundamental connection point between your data warehouse and SDF. Credentials are used by integrations to authenticate to your data warehouse.

Integrations

SDF supports materializing tables in Snowflake and Redshift directly from the command line.

Materialization

SDF Environments were built for teams to help them collaborate, isolate, and maintain development, staging, and production environments.

Environments

This documents aims to layout how SDF's powerful lineage capabilities  creates detailed and accessible visibility into your data warehouse.

Lineage

SDF promotes reasoning on higher level types through a rich data classification & type system. 

Data Classifiers

Integrate SDF into more complex workflows with pre and post hooks

Custom Scripts

Expand SDF Built-in Libraries with custom logic

Custom Libraries

This document aims to outline the concept of indexing within the SDF CLI and outline a specific example to better articulate how to take advantage of this powerful feature.

Workspace Indexing

SDF allows you to author user defined functions using function signatures in sdf.yml blocks. Types are used to statically analyze SQL, provide label propagation and lineage computation. 

User Defined Functions

Understanding Telemetry

SDF provides several options for configuring log output. Furthermore, the SDF DB can be used to query and analyze logs.

Logging

SDF supports three types of integrations: databases (i.e. data warehouses), data source, and metadata sources.

SDF as a best-in-class transformation layer for Snowflake

Getting Started with Snowflake and SDF

Materialize tables and views in Snowflake with SDF.

Basic Materialization

Materialize incremental models in Snowflake to save time and compute.

Incremental Materialization

Materialize snapshot models in Snowflake.

Snapshots

Seeds

This guide covers advanced features and configurations for Snowflake integrations in SDF, like role configuration, case-preserving identifiers, and more.

SDF as a best-in-class transformation and authoring layer for Dagster Orchestration

Getting Started with Dagster and SDF

SDF as a best-in-class transformation layer for BigQuery

Getting Started with BigQuery and SDF

Materialize tables and views in BigQuery with SDF.

SDF can work alongside an existent DBT project to power column-level lineage, checks, and data classification / governance for DBT models.

Integrating with DBT

SDF is best used as an entire transformation layer in itself, effectively replacing DBT and adding all the benefits of SDF.

Migrating from DBT

SDF is a powerful tool on its own, but its utility is amplified when integrated into CI/CD workflows.
