Benefits of Dataform2Looker
- Streamlined Workflow: Data engineers no longer need to manually translate Dataform transformations into LookML views, reducing the risk of errors and saving valuable time.
- Improved Accuracy and Maintainability: The tool guarantees that LookML views remain aligned with the newest Dataform transformations, enhancing the consistency and reliability of data infrastructure. Dataform definitions serve as the sole source of truth for integration, enabling distribution across BigQuery, Dataplex, and Looker. Information such as the column descriptions are synchronised from BigQuery to Looker.
- DevOps Integration: Dataform2Looker facilitates continuous delivery and collaboration between data engineers and business analysts, supporting a DevOps approach by seamlessly integrating Dataform and LookML.
