Hey PH gang! ππΎ
I'm Chinedu, leading a small team of builders and we are excited to be launching Datangle!
β‘οΈ What is Datangle?
Datangle is a no-code continuous integration and deployment platform built specifically for data teams. It is the simplest way for teams to automate manual operations, promote pipelines across multiple environments and build complex CI/CD workflows in a visual canvas, without the need for yaml and other scripting files.
βοΈ Why we built it
We've spent our time with data teams (and engineers) across multiple orgs and lived two fundamental realities:
1: They're swamped with operations, leaving no time for strategic work. Now, AI intensifies this β fast, reliable data is crucial, yet manual processes hold them back.
2: They're using the wrong tooling. We've all tried shoehorning software engineering tools in, only to meet the limitations of these tools for our specific use cases.
We built Datangle, to empower Data Engineers with a no-code workflow builder and intelligent automation for their data operations. It's DataOps designed for their world, unlocking their potential to fuel the AI revolution.
π Features:
--> Visual Canvas: build complex workflows with simple clicks in a visual canvas
--> Stack integration: seamlessly connects to your existing data stack
--> Version control: track changes and revert to previous versions of your workflows, environments and pipelines
--> Automated triggers: automate tasks based on internal or external schedules, data updates, or custom events.
π οΈ Use cases
--> Environment provisioning and deployment
--> Data quality checks
--> Jobs/Pipeline code promotion
--> Data backup and disaster recovery
--> Cross-environment data sync
--> Model training, validation, and deployment
β Getting started
We're currently in a closed beta testing with unlimited access to the entire product and you can get started here β https://datangle.io
ππΎ Feedback
We are a very small team re-imagining and simplifying how data teams can make the most of their time. We'd love nothing but you for you to share any suggestions, recommendations and improvements. Your feedback will be crucial as we improve the product.
Thank you for your support!

Product, Datangle.
Looks like another no-code tool trying to simplify complex tasks for data teams but is it really better than established options like Alteryx or Luigi maybe some more advanced features or integrations could make it stand out, any plans for that?
I get it's supposed to be no-code and all, but are we really at the point where junior devs can't even understand yaml files, marketing something as super easy seems kinda lazy, kinda makes you wonder if it's dumbing things down too much π€
Sure, so I get the value of making things easier for junior devs though I'm curious how this will handle the more intricate needs of experienced users, sometimes simplifying too much can be a double-edged sword π€
I like the idea of making workflows easier for junior devs but how does it stand out from things like Apache Airflow or Prefect, feels like those already cover a lot and with them being open source, thinking you might need to find a unique angle, maybe more integrations or a feature that simplifies deployment across platforms would help?
So i stumbled upon this tool in an ad, not sure how i feel about it, seems like it's more for beginners, what do we do when we need more advanced custom workflows? maybe also think about adding some more detailed documentation to help those who aren't so novice anymore, interesting idea though
I think the concept of a no-code CI/CD workflow builder sounds great but I'm worried about how reliable it will actually be without the proper scripting languages behind it, from my experience in recruitment, I see many candidates turned away for not having deep technical skills, relying purely on visual tools might make sense on the surface but could leave teams without the depth they need in crisis situations, this could be a miss if it doesn't provide ways to deepen those skills alongside its ease of use
I get what you're trying to do here, making data pipelines easier to handle sounds great, but aren't you worried about over-simplifying things, like maybe it could lead to overlooking important details, also it's kinda unclear how this tool handles more advanced operations, can it adapt to more complex workflows or is it limited to simpler tasks only? π
All sounds great in theory but if you need a No-code tool for CI/CD, aren't you setting yourself up for more problems down the line, just saying π€
Seems like someone got a bit inspired by tools like Airflow and Jenkins, huh? Not seeing how it's much different, guess its beta stage tho, but without needing scripting sounds good, let's see if it lives up to that claim, retail folks are always looking for no-code solutions, could be useful or could be just another gimmick, time will tell
Nice idea but how does this actually help experienced devs who already know how to code, wouldn't they find this too basic or limiting, wondering if there's plans for more advanced features in the near future, could use some clarification on that, seems like youβre on the right track but missing a bit of depth.
Founder's enthusiasm is great, but is this tool really enough for experienced devs who need more customization, feels like itβs just another crutch for juniors, also curious about how it handles large scale operations without yaml, any thoughts on adding more advanced options for those who need it
Not convinced on going no-code for serious CI/CD workflows, some teams might miss the control and flexibility from traditional methods, founder should maybe think about integrating both options?
It's cool that youβve made a no-code tool for CI/CD workflows, but honestly, isnβt simplifying things to the point where you donβt even need yaml or scripts taking away some control from data teams themselves, feels like it might be more trouble down the line when things get really complex, curious to see if it's really as effective as it sounds π
So, another no-code tool, huh, wonder if it's really gonna help or just add more confusion for the team, especially junior devs, might simplify things or result in over-dependance, what do you think peeps? π€
I'm a bit skeptical about this new no-code tool, seems like it might oversimplify things too much, I wonder how flexible it really is when it comes to complex workflows, have you considered adding more advanced features for experienced developers, or will it remain focused on the basics, curious to see how it evolves
Looks cool and all but honestly it looks pretty similar to what Airflow or Dagster offer dont see how it's making things wildly easier also what about support for more advanced features or integrations doesn't seem clear how it stacks up against other tools maybe add more details on that
Interesting concept but without yaml and scripting, how customizable can this really be, seems like it might trade flexibility for simplicity, wonder how that'll impact bigger projects
Not really convinced, you say this will help junior devs but what about the experienced ones who are already familiar with yaml and scripts, seems like a pretty basic tool, also how will this integrate with existing complex systems, any plans to add more advanced features, curious to see where this goes
Checked this out after a friend mentioned it, honestly not sure why we need another tool like this, feels overly simplified and kinda redundant for seasoned devs π§
