Hands-On: Automating DataOps Workflows with Proactive Agents
Thu, Jul 23, 2026 · 4:30 PM UTCBay Area ML MeetupsBay Area Machine Learning and AI Meetups The upcoming meetup is about "**[Automating DataOps Workflows with Proactive Agents](https://www.linkedin.com/events/automatingdataopsworkflowswithp7480754209483673600/)**". 🚀 DataOps today is still heavily manual: engineers investigate broken pipelines, schema drift, metric mismatches, and downstream failures across warehouses, dbt, orchestrators, lineage tools, and documentation.👾 In this session, Omri, CTO at Upriver, will talk about how proactive agents can help data teams move beyond alert-based monitoring by understanding operational context, **investigating issues, tracing root cause, and generating automated fixes.** ✳️ 📆 **Date & Time:** July 23rd\, 2025 \| 09:30 AM PT **🚀 Register here**: [https://www.linkedin.com/events/automatingdataopsworkflowswithp7480754209483673600/](https://www.linkedin.com/events/automatingdataopsworkflowswithp7480754209483673600/) We’ll also showcase how Upriver maps your data stack to detect issues, trace root cause, and trigger validated fixes before they propagate downstream. **Topics that will be covered:** ✅ Automating investigation workflows for freshness issues, schema changes, failed jobs, and metric drift ✅ Using proactive agents to generate fix plans, validate outputs, and create reviewable actions ✅ Generating validated SQL, Python, YAML, and dbt code grounded in your actual data stack ✅ Where Upriver fit into existing DataOps workflows without replacing the current data stack.
