Self-Healing Data Pipelines: Where the Marketing Ends and the Engineering Begins (opens in new tab)

description: "Most self-healing pipelines automate retries and schema-drift detection, covering maybe 20% of real failures. Real resilience is an architecture: deterministic cores, AI for the messy edges, and human-gated repair." "Self-healing" is the most oversold phrase in data engineering right now. Most platforms wearing the label do two things: retry failed jobs and detect schema drift on supported connectors. Both are useful. Together they cover maybe a fifth of what actually breaks pip...
