About

Dagster is software for organizing work that moves, cleans, and prepares data. Teams use it to see what each workflow does, test changes before they run, and monitor results. Dagster Labs offers a hosted product alongside the open-source project.

The Take

Dagster has a strong open-source starting point and a clear problem to solve: data workflows are difficult to understand when they break. Its opportunity is to become the everyday control room for modern data teams.
