Workstream.io announces sophisticated, free Slack alerts for all dbt users

Published

NEW YORK, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dbt is a powerful tool used by the masses for testing and modeling data, but the native alerting features fail to meet the most basic needs of most users, Cloud or Core. The primary issue is that dbt’s native alerting does not provide critically needed information, and quickly causes alert fatigue for the data team, even at the lowest incident frequencies.

Many data teams have heavily invested in their data incident management processes, and the Workstream team invested months into speaking with them to learn exactly what is needed for everyone to course correct and improve triage.

Today’s busy data people might see a dbt notification about an outage on their phone but not be able to triage it until later—or there’s a chance they forget to dig into the issue later when they have system access. They also might not even realize in a subsequent run that something new requiring investigation has broken. This is where Workstream Slack alerts come in.

“Now when you connect your Workstream.io instance to your dbt project, and set up free Slack alerts, core information about data outages, including failed tests, blast radius, and data freshness checks become automatically communicated to users in Slack,” says Nick Freund, CEO of Workstream.io.

“This new integration allows us to expose critical knowledge to our business teams and partners via dbt-powered documentation, and automate workflows around data incidents and quality via advanced Slack alerting capabilities and data status pages,” says Workstream.io customer Dan
Antonson, Director of Marketing & Analytics Technology at Collegis Education.

“Data teams have been handcuffed by bad incident alerting for too long. I’ve personally experienced the pain of missing a major outage because I assumed I knew what I would see after clicking ‘Open run in dbt Cloud.’ Teams just need to be able to increase failure visibility while also maintaining flexibility as their team and investments in data quality grow and mature,” says Ted Conbeer, Data Leader at Workstream.io.

Free Slack alerts are an added update to previously launched features including the ability to expose data status pages for critical data assets; and, the ability to leverage dbt projects to build business-facing documentation. Documentation includes data status pages, which are automatically created and updated for critical data assets like dashboards. They include the current status of the asset, a graph of historical up/downtime in the last 30 days, as well as a list of any current or historical data incidents, including their status and core context.

Workstream.io also provides an unlock to dbt-based knowledge about data via end-user documentation features. When leveraging any of the documentation features, including asset content overviews, the data team can pull in dynamic definitions of their dbt nodes.

Workstream’s platform provides teams with an end-to-end workflow for data incident management, allowing them to alert on data incidents, quickly understand and triage issues, and manage stakeholder communications about data outages.  All of these features together are a meaningful departure from the lackluster systems data teams currently leverage, from alerts sent natively by data tools, or repurposed and traditional incident management systems.

“We believe that every dbt user needs better alerting, so in our continued commitment to improve upon your investments, we acknowledge that nobody wants to buy software right now. We’ve heard feedback, and in addition to free Slack alerts for dbt users, we’re also announcing Workstream.io Core, a free path to efficient data incident management,” says Nick Freund, CEO of Workstream.io.

Cultivating a Culture of Peace: International Day of Peace Statement by Education Cannot Wait Executive Director Yasmine Sherif

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2024 /CNW/ — The longing for peace transcends time, geography and religion. Based on justice, human rights and universal values outlined in the UN Charter, a culture of peace brings us all together in our common agenda for humanity. We can only co-exist by aligning ourselves with such a world order.

On today’s International Day of Peace, we call on world leaders to end conflict and embrace a culture of peace as enshrined in the UN Charter and related international law.

As the UN General Assembly outlined in the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace  a quarter of a century ago, this must include: “Respect for life, human rights and fundamental freedoms; the promotion of non-violence through education, dialogue and cooperation; commitment to peaceful settlement of conflicts; and adherence to freedom, justice, democracy, tolerance, solidarity, cooperation, pluralism, cultural diversity, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and among nations.”

Educating for peace starts at home and continues in school through years of education. This takes place during the most formative years of a child learning about their identity, ethics, values, conscience, courage and compassion. Wherever there has been a failure in imparting on children the imperative for peace, the world is turned upside down. This is a global failure with no geographical boundaries.

Today, we live in a world of unprecedented violence, armed conflict and chaos. All the genuine and heartfelt commitments made in 1945 in the UN Charter seem to be fading away. Children and adolescents are the most vulnerable, the least protected, and the most impacted. They bear the brunt. 

Global conflicts killed three times as many children in 2023 than in the previous year, according to the United Nations. The number of forcibly displaced people reached an unprecedented 120 million in May 2024.

“In 2023, the United Nations verified a record 32,990 grave violations against 22,557 children in 26 conflict zones, a 35% increase from the previous year,” according to recent analysis by the UN.

We can end these violations and invest in a constructive co-existence globally. We can use our resources for education, rather than for wars. In classrooms around the world, girls and boys who have withstood the wrath of war can rebuild their hopes and their lives. Cultivating a culture of peace is possible. The financial resources exist. The choice as to how we use them is ours.
