Introduction

DataOps is an Agile approach to managing and improving the efficiency, quality and reliability of data within an organisation. Using environments and multiple workspaces, it is possible to implement a development-to-production DataOps workflow for a project.

Promoting changes between workspaces

1. Create a workspace for development (e.g. My Workspace (dev))
   1. Open the drop-down menu
   2. Select New workspace
   3. Provide a workspace name in the Name * field
   4. Click Save
2. Create another workspace for staging (e.g. My Workspace (staging))
3. Set the staging workspace active environment to staging in workspace settings
   1. Open the drop-down menu
   2. Select Settings
   3. Provide the name of the active environment in the Active environment field
   4. Click Save
4. Create another workspace for production (e.g. My Workspace)
5. Set the production workspace active environment to prod
6. Make changes and test in the development workspace
7. When ready, merge changes from the development workspace into the staging workspace (the repository URL for each workspace can be found in workspace settings)

    git clone [email protected]:MatatikaBytes/My-Workspace-staging-kklcdol
    cd My-Workspace-staging-kklcdol
   
    git remote add dev [email protected]:MatatikaBytes/My-Workspace-dev-zgtzhjd
    git pull -X theirs --allow-unrelated-histories dev main
   
    # ensure everything is correct before pushing
    git push
   

8. When ready, merge changes from the staging workspace into the production workspace

    git clone [email protected]:MatatikaBytes/My-Workspace-setarqi
    cd My-Workspace-setarqi
   
    git remote add staging [email protected]:MatatikaBytes/My-Workspace-staging-kklcdol
    git pull -X theirs --allow-unrelated-histories staging main
   
    # ensure everything is correct before pushing
    git push
