I did see that and was disappointed. It described the features in full but I was looking to see the features set up to see if it is something I can easily integrate or not. Don't get me wrong love the idea and its young I don't fault the team but I'm not going to get a docker running just to find out i have to reformat all my tests or write way too many new connections to enable any of these features.

I see your point. As you mentioned the product is rather young and we continue to develop it. I agree that documentation is one of the fundamental parts. Thank you for your input, we will find a way to make the documentation more straight forward and useful for cases such as you've described.

Perhaps you would be interested in a call with us where we can answer all your questions including integration with your infrastructure, provide help configuring the platform if needed, etc?

Its not confusing its well written I just want more, but I get it's a community project and it takes time to do all this stuff for free. I'm just ~not so~patiently waiting for docs more around the person looking at set up vs the conceptual

Well, for setting the platform's features up there's this page: https://docs.opendatadiscovery.org/configuration-and-deploym...

It explains how to set up a platform in a way that certain features were enabled/disabled. Maybe this is something you will find useful in a way.

It'd be great if you could provide an example, if I got you wrong

Well like adding a test from panadas/great expectations, software looks great when its set up and already added. So trying to add one myself I just have to imagine, so great expectations make sense probably an API hook set up. But I'm using panadas mostly so how do I add one? Is it going to be more work to use existing tests? If so how much? Really I'm trying to timeline how long setting up everything from my pipeline inside the product as well. Since I want a junior doing alot of this aswell is this going to be weirdly hard for a math uni grad? You know?

The online demo I didn't see abilities to do that on that type of account, which idc just part of gauging how long it would take to go from 0 to running to useful for the company.

Thanks for the help I'm going to keep an eye out for the product in the future for sure. It’s just at the point it is still more work for me to see if I want to do the work to use it

Gotcha!

Thank you for the input, we are going to work on this.
