Dagster

Dagster is an orchestration platform that models data pipelines in terms of the data assets they produce.

Written by Reflective Data experts · updated Oct 5, 2026

Instead of focusing only on tasks, it tracks assets such as tables and models, their dependencies and freshness, with built-in testing and observability.

It is an alternative to Airflow with a more asset-centric approach.
