Prototype to Production
When starting out on their journey into the new world of AgileData ways of working, data teams will often start off with a Prototype > Production pattern.
We see this as a stepping stone to being able to build production Information Products from the get go.
But as with all things agile its about starting off with a pattern, getting feedback from the team and stakeholders and then iterating to make things better.
Have a listen or read of a podcast where Gerhard De Beer discusses the Production > Prototype pattern his teams experimented with.

As data practitioners we should always strive to automate the collection of data from the Systems of Capture into our data platforms.
But sometimes we just need to drop or upload a file into the data platform to get started.
As we use Google Cloud to power AgileData we can easily drop a file into a “bucket” but we also needed a way to allow analysts to easily upload a file.
Have a look at our file upload feature.
