Happy Friday everyone!
We were looking at the usage data for various SnapGPT features. Though SnapGPT has many excellent features - interactive help, pipeline creation, sample data and expression generation, and now SQL query generation, the “describe pipeline” feature consistently ranks as the #1 feature week after week. This feature, which generates instant documentation, is particularly noteworthy.
In hindsight, this makes sense, considering that 97% of pipelines are undocumented, leading to a number of challenges, including:
- Onboarding: It's hard for new employees to understand inherited pipelines.
- Maintenance: Understanding, changing, and resolving issues in pipelines is difficult.
- Scalability: Modifying and expanding integrations is challenging.
- Optimization: Spotting redundancies or inefficiencies is hard.
- Compliance & Governance: There are risks in ensuring that data is handled compliantly.
Accurate documentation can help in many ways:
- Rapid Onboarding: Can describe pipelines and answer questions easily.
- Easy Maintenance: Can suggest changes and identify issues quickly.
- Operational Excellence: Can identify duplication and inefficiencies.
- Compliance and Governance: Simplify risk assessment for new pipelines.
- Improved Decision Making: Provide insights on the current state to inform decisions on future integrations and investments.
What is your favorite SnapGPT feature, and how has it impacted your integration? Curious to know!
Thanks,
