SBP 10 – implement data journey journaling to facilitate future problem resolution

Data journey journaling is an emerging concept that resonates deeply within the data engineering world and has garnered attention in the broader scope of SBPs. This methodology focuses on meticulously documenting the path data traverses, from its point of origin to its final consumption. In this section, you will gain an appreciation for developing data as a product by implementing the data journey so that data issues (or problems in the curated datasets) may be remediated quickly and efficiently.

A data journey can be defined as the comprehensive pathway data takes, encompassing stages such as ingestion, processing, transformation, storage, and, ultimately, presentation. Each stage offers unique challenges and insights, necessitating a clear understanding of the journey for efficient system management. By enabling detailed tracing of data journeys, you can glean in-depth analytical insights...
