You define Jobs (that take input data partitions and produce output partitions), compose them into Graphs (partition dependency networks), and DataBuild handles the rest. Just ask it to build a partition, and databuild handles resolving the jobs that need to run, planning execution order, running builds concurrently, and tracking and exposing build progress. Instead of writing orchestration code that breaks when dependencies change, you focus on the data transformations while DataBuild ensures your pipelines are correct, observable, and reliable. + For important context, check out [DESIGN.md](./DESIGN.md). Also, check out [`databuild.proto`](./databuild/databuild.proto) for key system interfaces. ## Usage
