Get up to speed by working through these tutorials, which use small examples illustrative of real data problems.

Before you get started, make sure you install Dagster!

Assets#

Dagster is used to build and maintain data assets. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the basics of creating, maintaining, and testing assets in Dagster:

• Define an asset using a sample CSV dataset
• Build graphs of assets using multiple assets
• Define assets without arguments and return values when you don't want to load your assets into Python
• Test assets, whether a single asset or multiple

Ops and jobs#

Dagster's asset functionality sits on top of a general orchestration engine that can be used for tasks other than creating and maintaining assets. Check out this op-focused tutorial to learn more:

• Write and execute a job with a single op
• Connect multiple ops in a job
• Test ops and jobs
