| Issue | Symptoms | Root Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duplicate Data | Count mismatch | Non-idempotent load | Use MERGE, add dedup |
| Schema Drift | Pipeline failure | Source schema changed | Schema validation, alerts |
| Data Freshness | Stale data | Pipeline delays | Monitor SLAs, alerting |
| Memory Error | OOM in pipeline | Large batch size | Chunked processing |
# ✅ DO: Make pipelines idempotent
delete_and_insert(partition_date)
# ✅ DO: Add observability
logger.info(f"Processed {count} records", extra={"metric": "records_processed"})
# ✅ DO: Validate data at boundaries
validate_schema(df, expected_schema)
validate_constraints(df)
# ✅ DO: Use incremental processing
WHERE updated_at > last_run_timestamp
# ❌ DON'T: Process all data every run
# ❌ DON'T: Skip data quality checks
# ❌ DON'T: Ignore schema changes
