What

First article from the data engineering chapter 🎉

"How we lost our tests migrating to Databricks (and how we're getting them back)" — the story of our three pipeline generations: the well-tested Scala + Airflow stack, the Databricks rebuild that improved the architecture but lost the tests along the way, and the platform we're building now to keep the best of both worlds. Deep dives: property-based testing (a real one-character regex bug months of green CI never caught), CI gates that discover their own scope, and why that verification infrastructure is what makes AI-assisted development safe for a data team.

Content was reviewed by the chapter in a Google Doc round beforehand (validated by our manager; naming/confidentiality pass done: no customer names, no absolute financial figures, ratios only).

First article from the data engineering chapter: three generations of
pipelines, property-based testing, self-discovering CI gates, and
AI-assisted development with guardrails. Four diagrams included.
