The Future of Big Data
With some guidance, you can craft a data platform that is right for your organization’s needs and gets the most return from your data capital.
My project teams designate a project root via environment variable and then build a defined directory structure beneath. This allows each developer to build their environments wherever it suits their needs and desires while providing a consistent path for project paths:
C:\ |
|
Users |
|
chris.grenz |
|
projects |
<- The projects root defined in PROJECTS_ROOT |
BI |
|
TEST_123 |
<- An individual environment named TEST_123 |
build |
<- All things build related. For us, build.gradle scripts. |
db |
|
MDR |
|
data |
<- Static data to be loaded when the database is built. |
ddl |
<- DDL scripts to create the structure of the database. |
sp |
<- Procedural SQL for stored procs and UDFs. |
EDW |
|
ODS |
|
etl |
<- ETL packages, scripts, and resources. |
test |
<- All things testing. This is NOT included in the production build. |
wiki |
<- When we use DBFit, this is the root of the wiki. |
tools |
<- The binaries (and source) of the utilities the environment depends on (excluding large shared tools like SQL Server). |
gradle |
|
dbfit |
