Reviewer scorecard
“Software-defined assets are the right abstraction. Better DX than Airflow with type checking and built-in observability.”
“If you need billion-scale vector search, Milvus handles it. GPU indexing and distributed architecture set it apart.”
“The asset-centric approach makes more sense than Airflow's task-centric model for modern data engineering.”
“Massive complexity for most use cases. Unless you're operating at true scale, simpler alternatives are better.”
“Dagster represents the next generation of data orchestration. Asset-based thinking replaces task-based thinking.”
“Purpose-built for the scale that enterprise AI will demand. The CNCF backing adds credibility.”
