What's new in DataOps - February 2024

What's new in DataOps

Each month we round up what's new in the five pillars of DataOps: collaboration, orchestration, continuous delivery, testing automation and environmental management.

Highlights this month include:

• Collaboration improvements in SAS Studio
• Soft launch of the new developer portal
• A round up of resources from DataOpsWeek

 

Resources

SAS Studio

• Allow SAS Studio Flows to include Subflows from the file system (What's New in SAS Studio, About Subflows). Why is this useful? More objects on the file system allows better integration with Git; better Git integration means better collaboration.

REST API

• The new developers.sas.com developer portal has soft launched!
