Summary
In this chapter, we have learned the parts that make up the Alteryx platform. We have also learned how they can benefit you as a data engineer with faster development, an iterative workflow, and extendable self-documentation.
We examined an example of how to build a workflow with Designer and learned what the InDB tools can do. Finally, we introduced Server and Connect. We learned how Server can automate and scale your data engineering developments. Then we learned that Connect provides a place for user discovery of the datasets you have created.
In the next chapter, we will expand on what a data engineer is for Alteryx and how you can use Alteryx products for data engineering. Then we will introduce DataOps and why this is a guiding principle for data engineering in Alteryx.
