The developer framework dlt+ has been released in early access, featuring two initial features: the dlt+ Project and dlt+ Cache. The dlt+ Project is a declarative yaml collaboration point that enables easy onboarding and collaboration with non-Python developers, while also providing a single, authoritative manifest for pipeline definition, deployment, and orchestration. The dlt+ Cache is a database-like portable compute layer that allows users to shift parts of their data workflows earlier in the development process, enabling faster iteration, safer quality checks, and vendor-agnostic transformations. Early testers can collaborate with the developers to shape the product further, and more features are planned for release in subsequent weeks.
