In our ongoing Data Vault Friday series, our CEO Michael Olschimke addresses a pertinent question from our audience.
“We are currently implementing a bridge table over a series of sprints. The table prepares a fact entity with many measure values that are added sprint by sprint. Some measures are based on other measures in the bridge table. Our issue is that the code to load the bridge table is already complex due to the many measures. It exceeds 800+ lines of code and requires constant reengineering when additional measures are added. Is there a more agile approach with less, maybe zero change impact on the existing code?”
In this insightful video, Michael explores strategies for building a bridge table in an agile and incremental fashion. The question prompts a discussion on addressing the complexity of the loading code and finding approaches that minimize change impact, ensuring a more flexible and adaptive development process.
The video offers practical insights and recommendations for streamlining the implementation of a bridge table, enhancing agility, and reducing the challenges associated with code maintenance in evolving data models.
