Adaptation ideas

What to apply to your own product

  1. Idea: provide domain-specific audit rules and deployment presets.
  2. Idea: wrap environment planning in a review UI for smaller data teams.

Tradeoff to consider

Plan-and-audit workflows reduce risky warehouse changes but introduce operational concepts beyond simply running SQL.
