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.

Offers open access to cancer data for research

NEW DELHI, Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Indian Cancer Genome Atlas (ICGA) has launched India’s first comprehensive cancer multi-omics data portal. This pioneering platform provides open access to clinically correlated data from Indian cancer patients, aimed at transforming cancer research and treatment for Indian populations.

Historically, cancer treatments in India have been based on Western data sets. However, cancers in Indian patients can differ significantly at the molecular level. ICGA’s mission is to create Indian-specific datasets to help researchers and clinicians develop personalized treatment protocols. This new open-access portal represents a monumental step in revolutionizing cancer research, specifically for Indian patients.

The ICGA cancer multi-omics portal is the first in India to offer data that includes DNA, RNA, and protein profiles of breast cancer patients, integrated with clinical outcomes. Currently, the platform consists of data from 50 breast cancer patients, with plans to expand to over 500 patients in the coming year. This data is freely accessible to the global research community under India’s PRIDE guidelines, which promote ethical sharing and collaboration in cancer research.

Key Highlights of this portal include:

India’s First Cancer Multi-Omics Data Portal: A comprehensive resource that offers detailed multi-omics data for breast cancer patients, including genomic and proteomic information.Based on cBioPortal Platform: Derived from the internationally recognized cBioPortal, this platform ensures seamless integration with global cancer research efforts.Initial Dataset from 50 Indian Patients: Provides clinically annotated DNA, RNA, and protein profiles, along with treatment histories and patient outcomes, with an aim to scale up to 500 in a year.Free Access Under PRIDE Guidelines: Adhering to responsible and ethical data-sharing practices, the portal is freely accessible to the scientific community.A Step Toward Precision Oncology for Indian Patients: This initiative is designed to enable the development of personalized cancer treatments tailored to Indian patients.Call for Collaboration:  ICGA invites researchers worldwide to contribute and expand the platform, fostering global collaboration in cancer research.

Professor Shekhar C. Mande, Former DG-CSIR, Currently Senior Professor at Savitribai Phule Pune University
“Making this invaluable cancer data publicly accessible marks a pivotal step in accelerating scientific discoveries and enhancing patient outcomes. By openly sharing this data, we are empowering researchers, clinicians, and innovators to collaborate, explore new frontiers, and drive transformative breakthroughs in cancer treatment.”

Joint Statement from Dr JC Zenklusen – Director of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) at the NCI, NIH, USA, and Prof Sunil Badve – Vice Chair, Pathology Cancer Programs, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
“Fifteen years ago, when we launched TCGA, we could not have foreseen the remarkable progress cancer research would make. It is incredibly exciting to see ICGA advancing so rapidly and taking bold steps in revolutionizing cancer research. Understanding the genome of cancer patients will improve the treatment of Indians not only in India but also worldwide. We, both, encourage others with similar data to actively contribute to ICGA, so this initiative can grow even faster and drive greater breakthroughs.”

Dr. Anand Deshpande, Chairman and Managing Director at Persistent, and Non-Executive Director at ICGA
“We have made an excellent start with this groundbreaking multi-omics cancer portal. Cancer touches all of us, and the need for more effective, personalized treatments—especially tailored to the unique genetic and environmental factors in India—is urgent. This portal will empower researchers with crucial data to advance customized cancer research for better treatment outcomes. I encourage everyone to contribute and support this vital cause, helping us accelerate progress in the fight against cancer.”

About Indian Cancer Genome Atlas (ICGA):
The Indian Cancer Genome Atlas (ICGA) is a national initiative focused on mapping the genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic landscapes of cancers across India. As a section 8 not-for-profit organization, the ICGA Foundation, operates through a public-private-philanthropic partnership, with active support from over 50 clinicians, researchers, and data analysts. Its mission is to enhance cancer diagnosis and treatment for Indian patients and contribute to the global understanding of cancer biology. The foundation’s first project focuses on the multi-omics profiling of breast cancer, with plans to extend this effort to other types of cancer in the future.
