Week 7. Run it in production

Observability, CI/CD, tool choices, the low-cost open stack, capstone.

The last week is about running a platform, not just building one: monitoring, CI/CD, choosing tools with a written rationale, and designing the low-cost open-source stack for a medium-sized company. Then you ship the capstone.

Proof project 7 (capstone): daily-data-platform: one repo that ingests all four sectors, orchestrates with Dagster, models with dbt, loads Postgres (and Azure SQL), serves Metabase and Power BI, has CI, monitoring and a cost model. This is the project you talk about in interviews.
