Get started Review the SpecOpen
DPDS is released under Apache 2.0 license. You can use the specification as it is or extend it according to your needs. You can also join our community and actively participate in its evolution providing feedback or even becoming a committer.
Flexible
DPDS is technology agnostic. You can bring your preferred tools for provisioning, CICD, policy enforcement, metadata management, etc. DPDS doesn't care. It adapts to your preferences flexibly, allowing you to leverage your previous investments.
Composable
DPDS collects the description of all the components used to build a data product, from infrastructure up to its interfaces. These definitions can be saved as a parametrized template and then reused to compose multiple data product descriptors.
Extensible
DPDS has been designed to be easy to extend. You can add custom properties to almost all components of the descriptor documents. It is also possible to use external standards like OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Open SLO etc.. to define some components.
