End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

4. • The Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, was born in Mecca in
about 571.
• In the early 7th century, Muhammad united the various
tribes of the peninsula and created a single Islamic religious
polity.
• Following his death in 632, his followers rapidly expanded
the territory under Muslim rule beyond Arabia, conquering
huge swathes of territory (from the Iberian Peninsula in
west to modern day Pakistan in east) in a matter of
decades.
• From the 10th century to the early 20th century Mecca and
Medina were under the control of a local Arab ruler known
as the Sharif of Mecca.
5. GEOGRAPHICAL SETTING
• Saudi Arabia occupies about 80% of the Arabian
peninsula
• Latitudes 16° and 33° N, Longitudes 34° and 56°
E.
• Saudi Arabia is the world's 13th largest
state.(2,250,000 km2)
• Saudi Arabia is divided into 13 provinces
• Dominated by the Arabian Desert and associated
semi-desert and shrubland
6. • Saudi Arabia has a desert climate with extremely
high day-time temperatures and a sharp
temperature drop at night.
• Average summer temperatures are around 113
°F (45 °C), but can be as high as 129 °F (54 °C).
• In the winter the temperature rarely drops
below 32 °F (0 °C).
• In the spring and autumn the heat is
temperate, temperatures average around 84
°F(29 °C).
• Annual rainfall is extremely low.
7. Social Institutions
I. Family
• The family and tribe are the basis of the social
structure.
• Saudis are cognizant of their heritage, their clan, and
their extended family, as well as their nuclear family.
• Saudis take their responsibilities to their family quite
seriously.
• Families tend to be large and the extended family is
quite close.
8. II. Education & Literacy rate
• The Kingdom brought down the level of illiteracy in
the country from 60 percent in 1972 to 4 percent in
2012.
• The Kingdom started efforts to eradicate illiteracy by
educating adults in 1954.
• According to the ministry’s recent web posting the
general realization to get educated has made
students join schools in all parts of the Kingdom and
pushed up the rate of children going to school to 98.7
percent.
9. III. Political system
• The king combines legislative, executive, and
judicial functions and royal decrees to form the
basis of the country's legislation.
• The king is also the prime minister, and presides
over the Council of Ministers (Majlis al-
Wuzarāʾ), which comprises the first and second
deputy prime.
10. IV. Legal System
• Since Saudi Arabia is an Islamic state, its judicial system is
based on Islamic law (Shari’ah) for both criminal and civil
cases.
• At the top of the legal system is the King, who acts as the
final court of appeal and as a source of pardon.
• The Saudi court system consists of three main parts. The
largest is the Shari’ah Courts, which hear most cases in the
Saudi legal system.
• The Shari’ah courts are organized into several categories:
Courts of the First Instance (Summary and General Courts),
Courts of Cassation and the Supreme Judicial Council.
• Supplementing the Shari’ah courts is the Board of
Grievances, which hears cases that involve the government.
• The third part of the Saudi court system consists of various
committees within government ministries that address
specific disputes, such as labor issues.
11. V. Social Structure
• A major social division is that between guest workers
and local citizens. The working class is largely composed
of temporary immigrants, who also occupy middle-class
positions and a few positions in the upper class.
• Major variations in income and accumulated wealth
exist, with the major categories including the super-
rich, the very rich, and the rich alongside a large
middle-income group and some with limited incomes.
• Only small pockets of poverty persist.
• A strong ideology of egalitarianism is traditional among
Saudi Arabians, whose social and verbal patterns of
interaction stress equality and siblinghood rather than
status differentiation.
• However, degrees of luxury vary greatly.
12.
13. I.Food
• Diet in Saudi Arabia today varies between its urban and rural
populations.
• The most common foods in the Saudi diet are wheat, yogurt, dates
and chicken.
• Saudi Arabia produces more than 600 million pounds of dates per
year.
• Saudi Arabia's Islamic heritage outlaws the consumption of pork.
• They eat a lot of chicken. On average, a Saudi eats about 88 pounds
of chicken each year.
• Lamb is also eaten in Saudi Arabia, but it is more of a
delicacy, served during religious holidays, celebrations and special
occasions.
• Saudis also eat a great deal of dairy products like milk and yogurt.
14. • Saudi Arabian dress strictly follows the principles of hijab (the Islamic
principle of modesty, especially in dress).
• The predominantly loose and flowing, but covering, garments are suited to
Saudi Arabia's desert climate.
15. • Saudis value a number of traditional and modern pastimes.
• Football (soccer) is extremely popular.
• Many Saudis also participate in activities such as scuba
diving, windsurfing, and sailing.
• The time-honoured pursuit of camel racing developed a new following in
the 1970s.
• During the winter—the coolest part of the year—races are held weekly at
the Riyadh stadium.
• The annual King’s Camel Race, begun in 1974, is one of the sport’s most
important contests and attracts animals and riders from throughout the
region.
16. • The government of Saudi Arabia has encouraged sports
and athletics by constructing sports and recreation
facilities in all major urban areas.
• The Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee was organized
in 1964 and was recognized internationally the
following year. It has sent athletes to the Summer
Games since 1972 but has not fielded a team for the
Winter Games. The country also sends athletes to the
Asian Games.
• Scuba diving, windsurfing, sailing and basketball are
also popular, played by both men and women, with
the Saudi Arabian national basketball team winning
bronze at the 1999 Asian Championship.
17. IV. Social Security• Small populations and high gross domestic products allow the Gulf
states to fund the welfare of their people without needing to
impose many financial obligations upon them.
• Nationals are automatically provided with extensive state help,
including medical care, sickness and maternity cover, child care,
pensions, unemployment benefit and in some instances housing
and disability benefits.
• Foreign workers have access to medical facilities, but to little else.
• Saudi Arabia experimented with a social security system some years
ago, designed to include foreign workers and retirees. The plan was
abandoned a few years later, however, one of the problems being
the transient nature of the working population, largely made up of
expatriates. (To their credit, the Saudi Arabian authorities arranged
refunds to people who had made contributions.)
18. • The Ministry of Health is responsible for the
supervision of healthcare and hospitals in both
the public and private sectors. The system offers
universal healthcare coverage.
• The healthcare system has two tiers.
– One is a network of primary healthcare centers and
clinics that provide
preventive, prenatal, emergency, and basic
services, as well as mobile clinics for remote rural
areas.
– The second tier is represented by the hospitals and
specialized treatment facilities located in urban areas.

30. • Water is scarce in Saudi Arabia
• Foodstuffs like vegetable and fruits are found in less
quantity in Saudi Arabia
• Significant changes have been made regarding
irrigation, but there are still many efforts that Saudi
Arabia must overcome before they will be self-
sufficient
31. • Vegetable an fruits producing Saudi industries are
protected by the imposition of 20% import duties on
certain commodities.
• Tariff rates vary from 0 – 4%.
• Items produced in the Kingdom are assessed at an import
tariff of 20%.
32. • India with its wide variability of climate and soil produces a large
range of horticultural crops such as fruits and vegetables.
• India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the
world.
• Horticultural crops occupy about seven per cent of the gross cropped
area of the country, constituting about 25 per cent of the gross value of
• agricultural output.
The per capita consumption of FRUITS in the rural areas has
increased from 2.71 kgs per month in 1993-94 to 4.04 kgs per month in
2009-10.
• The corresponding figures for urban areas were 2.91 kgs and 4.12 kgs
per month.

37. 1. Export share of the focused product has gone up by
considerably
2. Scientific, Planned and organized farming came into larger

& Local Markets.
3. Farmers living standard improved considerably as getting
directly monitory benefits
4. Production level quality and traceability improved.
5. 9 to 10 month of production has been possible as export
and local demand has developed.
6. Very important is saving valuable time at various levels of
export.
7. Increase of Employment opportunities in rural areas.
38. • There are three primary marketing regions in
the Kingdom:
• Western.(the city of Jeddah as the main
commercial center)
• Central.(Riyadh)
• Eastern.(Eastern province cities)
39. • Many companies import vegetable or goods for their own use or for direct
sales to end-users, making the location and number of retail outlets an
important factor.
• INDIAN exporters might find it beneficial to appoint different agents or
distributors for different regions.
• Multiple agencies or distributors might also be assigned to handle diverse
vegetable and fruits market.
• Although there is no requirement for exclusive distributorships, Saudi
Ministry of Commerce policy is that all such arrangements be exclusive
with respect to either geographic region or product.
40.
41. There are very good prospects for companies who want to export their
vegetable and fruits to the Saudi Arabian market. However, there are
certain marketing procedures and sales techniques which have to be
observed in order to develop and sustain business relationships over a
long period of time
• The Saudi market should be constantly reviewed for product
adaptation and change.
• Exporters should ensure regular supplies as per specifications, at
the specified time and place already agreed upon and at the
stipulated prices.
• Any subsequent and sudden price changes, even pertaining to
after-sales services, should be avoided.
42. • Exporters' contacts with importers in Saudi Arabia should be
direct and regular.
• Complete product lines, rather than single products, should
be introduced into the Saudi market whenever possible in
order to benefit from greater demand stimulation and cost
reductions.
• Exporters are required to check with Saudi importers or
directly with the Saudi Arabian Food Standards Organization.
43. • The exchange rate of the riyals has been fixed at 14 rupee to
since 1986. Reasonable interest rates have greatly facilitated
market penetration in vegetables and fruits market.
• Consequently, Saudi importers expect INDIAN producers to
have a more stable pricing policy than their foreign
competitors.
• Products are usually imported on a CIF basis, and mark-ups
depend largely on what the vendor feels that the market will
bear.
44. • No standard formula exists for determining
mark-up rates. For the INDIAN supplier,
some give-and-take is expected in
preliminary negotiations
• The asking price is often reduced, to entice the
client and because of the Saudi interest in
bargaining and personal exchange.
• Financing has become a leading consideration in
purchasing, especially for investment Vegetables
and repeat orders.
• As leveraged transactions are becoming the
norm, Saudis have come to understand that an
attractive financial package can be more
desirable than a low up-front price.
