Data Platform CI CD And Release Management

Overview

Use this skill when changes need controlled promotion across environments. It helps agents design release gates for code, contracts, infra, and datasets so teams can ship faster without losing trust.

When to Use

• adding or changing CI pipelines for data projects
• promoting changes from dev to staging to production
• releasing dbt, orchestration, infra, or schema updates
• defining rollback-aware deployment behavior

Do not treat data releases like app-only deploys. Data contracts, backfills, and environment state matter too.
