As businesses use more and more data every passing day, it has become vital that new practices and disciplines take over in order to help improve the coordination between the analysis of this data and the overall operation of the enterprise.<\/p>\n

This practice is then known as DataOps \u2013 Data Operations \u2013 and is now of essential value to businesses. Thus, we have talked with experts in the industry to shed light on this ever-growing topic and share with us the significant importance of DataOps.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is DataOps? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

DataOps is an emerging methodology that intertwines DevOps teams with data engineer and data scientist roles so as to provide the necessary tools, processes, and structures to support data-focused organizations.<\/p>\n

Simon Trewin<\/strong>, DataOps transformation expert and thought leader at Kinaesis, describes DataOps as the art of driving data-driven projects in continuous integration and continuous deployment cycle. This then enables teams to be able to incrementally build solutions fast, potentially fail fast, and to get those solutions in front of stakeholders to help guide the direction and to build collaboration and momentum.<\/p>\n

By carrying out a structured DataOps process, projects can maintain the momentum through changing requirements, which are likely, and through multiple phases and releases.\u00a0 A good DataOps methodology will enable a project team to establish a process knowing how to maintain the velocity of the release train.<\/p>\n

Neill Cain<\/strong>, Lead Software Engineer at Craneware, adds that DataOps is foremost about how you as an organization enable the democratization of data – how you capture datasets across the enterprise, how you communicate the governance of that data and how people discover and use that data.<\/p>\n

Thereafter, it becomes somewhat similar to DevOps [at least the ops side] in that DataOps focuses on the efficient and cost-effective delivery of that data to consumers.<\/p>\n

The difference between DevOps and DataOps, Simon continues, is that DataOps incorporates DevOps processes, however, DataOps is an extension of DevOps to cater to the specific nuances related to data.<\/p>\n
