Introduction

Dagster is a system for building modern data applications.

Combining an elegant programming model and beautiful tools, Dagster allows infrastructure engineers, data engineers, and data scientists to seamlessly collaborate to process and produce the trusted, reliable data needed in today's world.

Install

To get started:

pip install dagster dagit

This installs two modules:

• dagster | The core programming model and abstraction stack; stateless, single-node, single-process and multi-process execution engines; and a CLI tool for driving those engines.
• dagit | A UI and rich development environment for Dagster, including a DAG browser, a type-aware config editor, and a streaming execution interface.

Integrations

Dagster works with the tools and systems that you're already using with your data, including:

Integration Dagster Library Apache Airflow dagster-airflow
Allows Dagster pipelines to be scheduled and executed, either containerized or uncontainerized, as Apache Airflow DAGs. Apache Spark dagster-spark · dagster-pyspark
Libraries for interacting with Apache Spark and Pyspark. Dask dagster-dask
Provides a Dagster integration with Dask / Dask.Distributed. DataDog dagster-datadog
Provides a Dagster resource for publishing metrics to DataDog.  /  Jupyter / Papermill dagstermill
Built on the papermill library, dagstermill is meant for integrating productionized Jupyter notebooks into dagster pipelines. PagerDuty dagster-pagerduty
A library for creating PagerDuty alerts from Dagster workflows. Snowflake dagster-snowflake
A library for interacting with the Snowflake Data Warehouse. Cloud Providers AWS dagster-aws
A library for interacting with Amazon Web Services. Provides integrations with S3, EMR, and (coming soon!) Redshift. GCP dagster-gcp
A library for interacting with Google Cloud Platform. Provides integrations with BigQuery and Cloud Dataproc.

This list is growing as we are actively building more integrations, and we welcome contributions!

Example Projects

Several example projects are provided under the examples folder demonstrating how to use Dagster, including:

1. examples/airline-demo: A substantial demo project illustrating how these tools can be used together to manage a realistic data pipeline.
2. examples/event-pipeline-demo: An example illustrating a typical web event processing pipeline with S3, Scala Spark, and Snowflake.
