Data Product Development: Enhancing Agility with Enterprise Controls

Denodo Platform 9.2 delivers significant enhancements to streamline data product development while maintaining governance and efficiency.

  • Workspace Support for CI/CD – Data engineers can now work in fully isolated environments, making it easier to develop, test, and refine data products before integrating them into larger projects. This workspace capability supports industry best practices such as branch-based development for continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD), enabling agile collaboration across multiple teams.
  • Automated Dependency Analysis for Replication Tasks – Many data optimization strategies rely on replicating data to improve performance, reduce costs, or enhance accessibility. Whether for caching query results or managing curation zones in a data lakehouse, maintaining the correct sequence of data refreshes is critical. This new capability automatically analyzes dependencies between tables, making data replication proceed in the optimal order. By eliminating manual sequencing and reducing errors, organizations can streamline data caching and curation, enabling consistent, high-quality data across all use cases.
  • Expanded support for open table formats – Enhanced compatibility with Databricks Unity Catalog and Snowflake’s Open Catalog broadens integration across the open table ecosystem, while performance improvements in Denodo’s Embedded MPP, including faster vectorized Parquet reads and advanced caching settings, enable high-speed data access and scalability.

These innovations make it easier than ever for organizations to develop and deploy high-quality data products while maintaining control, security, and performance.
