Error Handling & Monitoring

Best Practices

• Use retry logic
• Use failure notifications
• Use logging tables
• Use monitoring dashboards
• Use pipeline run history

Reliable ingestion requires strong monitoring. Without it, silent failures go undetected until dashboards are already broken.

Dev/Test/Prod Strategy

Best Practices

• Separate workspaces for each environment
• Parameterize pipelines for environment switching
• Use deployment pipelines
• Use version control
• Validate transformations before promoting

Ingestion must be stable across environments. Dev pipelines that work only in Dev are not production-ready.
