All Use Cases

Data Pipeline Engineering

Governed, testable data pipelines generated from schema definitions.

Build production-grade data pipelines without the boilerplate. Helix generates ETL/ELT workflows, schema validation, transformation logic, and orchestration code from your data contracts — fully tested and governed.

The Challenge

Data pipelines are the hidden engineering bottleneck

Data engineering teams spend most of their time on boilerplate: connection management, schema validation, error handling, and retry logic. The actual business transformation logic is a fraction of the code.

80% of pipeline code is plumbing, not business logic

Schema changes break downstream pipelines with no warning

Testing data pipelines requires complex fixture management

Orchestration configs are fragile and manually maintained

The Helix Approach

Schema-driven pipeline generation with full governance

Define your data contracts and transformation requirements. Helix generates the complete pipeline: ingestion, validation, transformation, quality checks, orchestration, and monitoring — all governed and testable.

Contract-First Generation

Define source and target schemas. Helix generates the transformation, validation, and loading logic to connect them.

Schema Evolution Management

When schemas change, Helix identifies impacted pipelines and generates migration PRs with backward compatibility.

Data Quality Gates

Automated quality checks are generated for every pipeline stage: null rates, distribution checks, referential integrity.

Orchestration Generation

Generates Airflow DAGs, dbt models, or custom orchestration code based on your data platform stack.

How it works

A governed, traceable flow from start to finish.

STEP 01

Define Data Contracts

Specify source systems, target schemas, and transformation rules. Helix handles the implementation details.

STEP 02

Pipeline Generation

Helix generates ingestion, transformation, validation, and orchestration code with full test suites.

STEP 03

Quality & Governance

Data quality gates, lineage tracking, and compliance policies are embedded in every generated pipeline.

STEP 04

Deploy & Monitor

Pipelines are deployed through your data platform with monitoring, alerting, and SLA tracking configured.
