Implementation Example
# DataOps Pattern class DataPipelineCI: def __init__(self): self.tests = []
def add_test(self, test): self.tests.append(test)
def run_ci(self, pipeline_code): # Run tests before deployment for test in self.tests: if not test.run(pipeline_code): raise Exception(f"Test failed: {test.name}")
# Deploy if tests pass self.deploy(pipeline_code)
def deploy(self, pipeline_code): # Deploy to production print("Deploying pipeline...")
