Disdat: data versioning

Note: Disdat 1.0 no longer contains the instrumented form of Luigi. Disdat-Luigi now resides here. Want to build versioned pipelines? pip install disdat-luigi Want to just use the Disdat API? pip install disdat

Disdat is a Python (3.9+) package for data versioning that allows data scientists to create, share, and track data products. Disdat organizes data into bundles, collections of literal values and files – bundles are the unit at which data is versioned and shared. Disdat provides an API for creating, finding, and publishing bundles to cloud storage (e.g., AWS S3).

Disdat-Luigi uses this API to instrument Spotify’s Luigi, so you can build pipelines that automatically create bundles, making it easy to share the latest outputs with other users and pipelines. Instead of lengthy email conversations with multiple file attachments, searching through Slack for the most recent S3 file path, users can instead dsdt pull awesome_data to get the latest ‘awesome_data.’

Disdat’s bundle API and pipelines provide:

• Simplified pipelines – Users implement two functions per task: requires and run.

• Enhanced re-execution logic – Disdat re-runs processing steps when code or data changes.

• Data versioning/lineage – Disdat records code and data versions for each output data set.

• Share data sets – Users may push and pull data to remote contexts hosted in AWS S3.

• Auto-docking – Disdat dockerizes pipelines so that they can run locally or execute on the cloud.
