Reviewer scorecard
“Software-defined assets are the right abstraction. Better DX than Airflow with type checking and built-in observability.”
“Built-in vectorizer modules mean less glue code. GraphQL API is intuitive. Self-hosting option is a huge plus.”
“The asset-centric approach makes more sense than Airflow's task-centric model for modern data engineering.”
“Open source and self-hostable gives you an exit strategy. The module system is genuinely innovative.”
“Dagster represents the next generation of data orchestration. Asset-based thinking replaces task-based thinking.”
“Multi-modal vectors and generative search point to where databases are heading. Weaviate is building for that future.”
