About this course

This tutorial is aimed at conveying the basics and best practices for creating automated data pipeline schedules. Foundry’s Scheduler application abstracts pipeline configuration into an intuitive interface that enables you to set the execution conditions to maintain your data freshness SLAs and minimize the risk of wasting Spark computation resources.

After scheduling your pipeline, you’ll have the opportunity to add documentation about the features of the Datasource Project stage. Descriptive documentation about pipeline logic, SLAs, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting history is a valuable prophylactic against entropy and sets your project up for long-term maintainability.
