Feature Deep-Dive
Visual Pipeline Designer
Compose extract, transform, load, and validation steps as ALP @task and @workflow blocks. Drag-and-drop canvas with real-time validation against @contract schemas.
Schema Validation & Evolution
Every pipeline step validates input and output against declared schemas. ALP detects breaking schema changes and generates migration tasks automatically.
Data Quality Gates
Define expectations in .alp @expect blocks: row counts, nullability, uniqueness, and distribution checks. Failed gates halt downstream tasks and alert via @policy.
ML Experiment Tracking
Log datasets, model versions, and metrics as ALP events. Compare experiment runs in the Enterprise Dashboard with full reproducibility from the timeline.
dbt / Airflow Integration
Sync ALP pipelines to dbt models and Airflow DAGs. ALP can trigger and monitor non-ALP jobs, unifying orchestration across your stack.
Data Lineage Visualization
Auto-generated lineage graphs show how data flows from source to destination. Compliance teams use lineage for GDPR and SOX audits.
Use Cases
- Data teams orchestrating ETL/ELT with ALP-native observability.
- ML teams tracking experiments and model promotions.
- Compliance teams needing immutable data lineage and audit trails.
Integration
Creates @task/@workflow for pipeline orchestration, @contract for schema boundaries, and @analytics for pipeline metrics.
Quickstart
- Install the studio plugin:
npm install -g @alp/data-pipeline-studio@80.0.0 - Initialize a pipeline project:
alp init data-pipeline --template etl - Design in the visual editor or write
.alpfiles directly. - Sync with dbt:
alp pipeline sync --dbt ./dbt-project - Monitor in the Enterprise Dashboard under Data Pipelines.
